Moreover, the former Habs defenseman, Jeff Petry, received a real slap in the face from his coach, being left out despite being in perfect health.
Although the American team acquired him this summer, everything seems to indicate that his spot in Derek Lalonde's lineup is far from guaranteed. What's more, it's even more surprising to hear such news given Detroit's defensive struggles.
In two games this season, Jeff Petry has accumulated four penalty minutes, notably showing a disappointing differential of -2. Known for his offensive skills, he has also been unable to get his name on the scoresheet.
