To be clear, I do not support giving Will Quill a healthy scratch in Tuesday’s game against the Jets at the Garden to coincide with the return of Matt Lempe, who was guilty of elbowing Jonas. . Siegenthaler on the face.
The only reason I mentioned Quill as a possibility coming out in Monday’s column is that, barring any unforeseen developments, the only bottom-six alternatives that would logically leave room for Rempe are him and Johnny. -Because it’s just Brodzinski.
Alex Wennberg isn’t an option, Kaapo Kakko isn’t an option, Jimmy Vesey and Barclay Goodrow aren’t out of the lineup.
Brodzinski was hurt for two games before Rempe was sentenced for four games, so it would have seemed automatic for him to come off the bench at No. 73 against the Jets. But that was before Sunday’s 5-2 win over the Islanders, when head coach Peter Laviolette replaced Caillou with Brodzinski’s speed on the left side of the third row alongside Wennberg and Kakko. changed the team dynamic.
