Better Sprong in the press box than Honka on the 2nd pairing. We're not even 20% of the way thru the season, Hornqvist and Rust historically don't stay healthy, and the depth at RW is thin after Sprong. The lineup will be shuffled, Sprong will get more chances now that the Brassard as a winger experiment is thankfully over, and then we'll reevaluate if he still can't stick. There's no need to shuffle him off for a lesser struggling player because the Pens are in a rut and Rutherford is itchy.
