    Yes there are risks to putting him in the lineup.

     

    Are the risks greater than Merril and Gustafsson who were extremely sheltered all of last game?

    Yes, because you can shelter Romanov and still have no idea what he's gonna do on any given shift. He's been in a feedback loop of struggles for week trying to do too much every game. He was given all the time in the regular season to figure it out and he didn't. 

     

    With Merrill you know he's not gonna overreach his abilities. With Gustafsson at least his defensive gaffes come with an actual ability to produce points and help the powerplay.

    So Romanov sucks? He can skate, pass, shoot, carry the puck, and lay out 100% legal hits that make knees wobble. 
     

    Gustofsson and Merrill hardly played last night and didn’t even have their own pairing. They filled in when a rest was needed or on the PP. 
     

    What kind of Dman are you looking for Ducharme? 

    Look to how much Rasmus Sandin has helped the Habs this series to understand why Ducharme doesn't trust Romanov right now. There have been many occasions this season where Romanov has tried to do too much and it cost him and the team. The coaching staff have looked at his games leading up the playoffs and decided, "He'll hurt more than help."

     

    There is an argument to be made that he should be in regardless of the growing pains, but the coaching staff (and management) have decided now is not the time to throw him into the fire.

    Any info on Evans yet? I think he missed half of the second and all of the third. 
     

    im not even sure what happened to him. 

    Day-to-day. Ducharme says Evans might be available for game 2.
