Lines For Saturday - Taranto Out, Slemp Steps Up

Andy Taranto has officially been added to the Nanooks injury list, citing a "lower body" injury that has become so commonplace in college sports these days. Erik Slemp has moved up to the top line with Petovello and Kunyk. Dustin Sather and Adam Henderson are back in the lineup, and Hohl has traded his jersey for the suit for the evening.

Back to Slemp for a moment... This kid has impressed me with his development so far this season. His speed and his puck handing have gotten exponentially better this season. It's good to see coach Ferguson reward him with top line honors. Hopefully we'll see him earn his first points of the season tonight.

Northern Michigan

Good lineup matches on both teams. Northern didn't do what I was expecting with their top scorers on the same line, which intrigues me a bit. The Nanooks lineup tonight is relatively unchanged. Some defensive line shuffles, along with the 4th line shift. Other than that, it's pretty consistent with these past couple of weeks.
