Patches Back, Funk Sent Down

Just what the title says, Nathan Paetsch is back in the lineup, so Mike Funk is back down to Rochester. Lindy Ruff was quite happy with his callup this time, but likes having Nathan’s ability to join the rush from the blueline back. Dmitri Kalinin and Jaroslav Spacek are both skating on their own and are getting closer to returning. I hope they are able to help the team in time. At least Philly and Boston were idle tonight, the situation didn’t get any worse.
