Fedotenko-Stepan-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Anisimov/Chris Drury-Callahan
Avery-Boyle-Prust
Frolov-Christensen-Boogaard/White

…not a big fan of moving Avery away from Gaborik. A line of Avery-Stepan-Gaborik would be pretty sweet. Plus the Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust was playing well.

…looks like Frolov’s complaints haven’t helped get him off the fourth line.
