I thought Thompson looked alright last.....he is clearly our 6th defensemen. My guess is Wolanin must be hurt to some degree to not be in the lineup. IMO he is our 5th defensemen. I really liked the Poolman LaDue pairing.
As far as Sanderson....I was surprised he wasn't in the lineup last weekend. After last night....how do you keep him out?

This most likely won't be the lineup Friday....but if I filled it out, it would be
Reworked my lineup a bit....didn't realize how good Johnson has been in the faceoff circle.
I wouldn't have a problem with Sanderson at W or C. I do think that the best the 4th unit has looked all year....both in the offensive zone and the defensive zone.....has been the last few weeks, with Sanderson on it.
With Sanderson's play of late...just not scoring, but his play In the defensive zone and on the PK......he has earned a place in the lineup on Friday night.
