Defenseman Matt Hunwick will play, but depending on forward’s Kevin Porter’s 1:30 p.m. disciplinary hearing with NHL Sheriff Shanahan, “Hunny” might also play forward.
Hunwick has no points in two games played and holds no fantasy hockey value.
"I talked to Matty. He's got a good attitude," Sacco said. "He's got to make the best out of a situation that isn't very positive for him individually. But he understands that and has a good attitude, and works very hard in practice. He's keeping it straight."
Hunwick won't make his way into the lineup until the team has any injuries. Through 50 games with the team, he is still looking for his first goal in Burgundy and Blue.
