For those scoring at home Pulock is a RD, same as Dobson. Hutton or flipping Cholowski from side to side is the alternative. Bolduc was a LD here last season. Aho played both sides but is in AHL in Pittsburgh. And most importantly despite forward issues on D/PK the shots are down over two hundred but so is the scoring with Dobson's falloff.
Perunovich is 26 but he is a LD for a team with a RD problem, he is an NHL regular despite his benchings/scratches.
