Out of curiousity, why DOC and Puustinen over Boyle and ERod? I know ERod's been underwhelming since Malkin came back, but he's still a skilled player. He scored against Columbus, so that could give him the necessary confidence boost to contribute more consistently. That seems like a safer playoff bet to me than hoping for Puustinen to productively contribute when he only has one game of NHL experience. With Boyle, he's been surprisingly productive this season, and having a guy who's 6'6" and 245lbs during the playoffs doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.
