Clifford-Richards-Penner
Clifford moves up to the second line to start tonight's game. The gritty winger has three goals and nine points through 51 games this season.
Line Change
Clifford, Fraser and Moreau to play together.
Clifford moves down to the fourth line. The Ayr, Ontario scored a goal and three points in 25 games.
Line Change
I think the line that I had together from the beginning of the training camp, with Clifford and Stoll, I was hoping that something good could happen by the end of the camp and that I would see a line that would be playing against the top lines of the opposition. But that might be pushing Cliffy a little bit too fast right now.
Clifford should start the season on the fourth line with the potential to move up in line. In his rookie season he scored seven goals and 14 points rotating between the third and fourth line. Sounds like the former 2nd rounder is experiencing some growing pains; could be in for a sophomore slump.
