With all the callups (Komo, Gratton, Dags, Balej) and with Svitov traded, it is a depleted line up for sure. All more impressive is this road win given the fact that those three forward callups were all the team leading scorers at various points in the season (and Balej still is).

Hossa seems to be shooting the puck a lot more, so that's got to improve his confidence. It's his time to shine along with Pleks, Higgs and Perezhogin while the team is down a few of its other top players.

They play the Baby Leafs again tonight and then a couple of games on the weekend. Lots of hockey for the young guns coming up.
