It's exciting. Any time you can play with two players that great makes your job easier. Obviously they have some confidence in you to put you on a line like that but you need to produce to stay up there.

We're going to play in a beautiful park, a pro stadium. It'll be exciting for the players.

We'll obviously use common sense, in that if players aren't yet up to the level of fitness we're looking for we won't risk them. We don't want to risk any injuries before the Northern Rail Cup campaign.

It's like a part-time job,

I've had to make my game more of a speed game. Getting up and down my wall a little quicker, getting myself the room that I need. Instead of kinda sitting and looking for the room, I have to move and create space for myself.

It was kinda tough on the ego going from one place and then out of another lineup and then not knowing how you fit. But hey, I can't complain about the situation. Any day in the NHL is a good day.
