I think the Yotes have quite a few injuries.

Maybe Bolduc will actually drop them more than 3 times unlike some other person. One of these days Biz is going to get his ass waived, worthless "enforcer."

Chipchura and Martin Hanzal went down with injuries last week against Dallas.

Rusty Klesla is also out. They Yotes also called up Matt Watkins and Michael Stone over the weekend.
