Weekly Shooutout Winner
This week, DEREK STEPAN won the shootout.

Here are the previous winners and how they did that weekend:
Wk 5: Jake Gardiner (0-0-0, +4, 3 SOG)
Wk 4: Blake Geoffrion (2-1-3, 10 SOG, +1)
Wk 3: Justin Schultz (0-0-0, E, 1 SOG, looked solid on D to me)
Wk 2: Mike Davies (0-2-0, 6 SOG, and sounds like he played really well)
Wk 1: Podge Turnbull (0-0-0, 5 SOG, and despite being held off the scoresheet I thought he looked really good)

Badger Lines
Bohmbach - Geoffrion - C Smith
Lee - Street - Grotting
Murray - Stepan - Davies
Mitchell - Bendickson - P Johnson

McDonagh - Gardiner
Smith - Ramage
Goloubef - Schultz

Bennett
Gudmandson

The forward lines appear to be the same as last weekend, with Turbull/Dolan/Thurber/Meuer as the scratches.

The defensive pairings also remain the same. Brett Bennett gets the nod in goal on Friday, and as usual we'll have to wait until Saturday to hear who will play Sat night. I expect Gudmandson, but what the heck do I know?

I don't know who the 2 extra skaters are that made the trip. Anyone know? (I have an email out to Cerniglia and am hoping that Capobianco will post it on twitter.)

per Baggot:
