Derek Dorsett saw the ice for only one shift in the second period and none in the third on Sunday. Coach Alain Vigneault said that it was a coaching decision and not an injury that kept the tough Dorsett glued to the bench for most of the final two periods. It will be interesting to see if Dorsett is in the lineup for Game 7 on Tuesday or if Vigneault looks elsewhere as the coach may not want to tinker with a winning lineup.

Derek Dorsett played on Friday after being a healthy scratch in Games 3 and 4. Dorsett played 9:55 minutes and was a minus-one in a 5-1 win over the Penguins. It's doubtful that coach Alain Vigneault will want to tinker with a winning lineup so he could be back on the fourth unit Sunday night.

Derek Dorsett will put his friendship with the Flyers Jakub Voracek on hold in the first round of the playoffs. The two were close friends when both played for the Blue Jackets and Voracek will be an usher for Dorsett when he gets married on June 28 but all feelings will be put aside during the best-of-seven series. "Those are the guys you turned pro with," Dorsett said. "We've been through a lot together. As rookies, we were a part of the first year the Blue Jackets made the playoffs. There were some tough years after that, and all along it was a tight-knit group."

Derek Dorsett (flu) will be a game-time decision for Monday night. He didn't play against New Jersey on Saturday because of the flu, but he participated in Monday's morning session. Dorsett is feeling much better and his chances of playing are better if Martin St. Louis and Derek Stepan can't suit up because of the flu bug as well.
