Ben Lovejoy suited up on Wednesday night after being a healthy scratch in seven of the previous eight games.
He has also viewed 16 of the past 20 contests from the press box, but played over Deryk Engelland against the Rangers. "There have been times where he probably sat out stretches a little longer than I would have liked to see a guy sit out," coach Dan Bylsma said. "He's not your typical first-year pro. Neither is Deryk ... Ben Lovejoy's played a lot of hockey. I think he and Deryk are capable of sitting out for periods of time and being ready and focused to come back in play their games. I'm real confident of both of them being able to jump right in given any kind of small hiatus."
