After sitting as a healthy scratch against Arizona, Frank Vatrano subbed back in for Austin Czarnik on the right wing alongside Matt Beleskey and Sean Kuraly. Vatrano was a minus-1 in 8 minutes, 42 seconds of ice time.
"Frank is a good player for us," said Cassidy. "Part of [sitting him out Saturday] was, 'Hey, go upstairs, watch the game, take something from it. Back-to-back games you want to make sure you have a level of energy. One player is not gonna turn the tide on that, but Frankie definitely brings foot speed and the ability to score.
"Just up there watching the game, hopefully he learns a little bit about the all-around game and how to play away from the puck.
"Czarnik was fine, but he's a role player right now. He may get back in the lineup. When he does, he'll have to keep pushing to get a permanent status. That's the decision right now"
