Mike Knuble's hamstring injury has healed enough for him to be cleared to play in Wednesday's game against Montreal. Knuble had been playing well before the injury, and it looks as though John Stevens will put him back on his regular line with Jeff Carter and Scottie Upshall. While Knuble was out, RJ Umberger stepped up and went on a tear while playing with Carter and Upshall, notching 4 goals in the first 3 games of the Montreal series.
It will be interesting to see where Stevens puts Umberger, who was less than thrilled with a fourth line role early in the Washington series. However, too many healthy scoring threats as, as they say, a good problem to have.
