Right wing
Jimmy Kilpatrick (concussion) won't play this weekend and did not practice this week. I haven't received official word if there's any reason to believe he won't be back for the Minnesota-Duluth series Feb. 22-23, but I would assume he will be and the coaches and trainer Jason Bushie are just being careful with the bye week coming up.
Lines will look like this:
Sweatt--Rau--Testwuide
McCulloch--Vlassopoulos--Schultz
Thauwald--Johnson--Walsky
DeBoer--McMillin--Overman
Richard Bachman will be in net Friday.
**Also--ever important to even the most casual CC hockey fan--Denver's leading scorer Brock Trotter is gone for good.

Thanks Kate for the update on Trotter. It was a pleasure to meet you a few weeks ago. Go Tigers!! CCtig (Lee)
Kate - this Trotter situation is unclear. Sounds like he may have been suspended - didn't like that - and went to the pros. If that is the case, is this something CC should worry about with the 2 players who were suspended earlier in the year?
One CC player is a senior - can't go anywhere.
The other is not the prototype NHL guy.
Hope he comes back. wonder if he might consider sitting the whole year out rather than just play 1/2 of a Senior season?
Patrosso is looking forward to coming back in mid-March. He's been skating with a junior team in Detroit and getting back into shape after the high ankle sprain he suffered in late November.
Cody Lampl has been skating with a team near his hometown of Ketchum, Idaho.
