We've skated a man short in our lineup lately, and Jeff helps us fill that void. He brings an added dimension of grit that will complement our team in the area of toughness.
We couldn't find anyone, and the team knows Dave from the times he's skated with us. You hope in this situation that Dave doesn't have to play, and the plan is to have Jeff play the entire weekend.
They've both come in and helped. Ned is a good shooter and generates offense. Jeff skates well and has helped our defense.
It's good news, but I think it's best to let Jake rest and let Jeff go out there on Wednesday. It's the safe thing to do.
