Chicago Wolves coach Scott Arniel sent a stern message to Zack Kassian and Jordan Schroeder on Saturday when he made them both healthy scratches in a 3-1 win over Peoria.
Kassian and Schroeder are tied for second on the team in scoring with 12 points this season, Schroeder leads the club with seven goals. "I've said all along that I'll give you the opportunity and it's what you do with it," Arniel said. "If you're in the lineup I expect you to be at the top of your game. If you're not, work hard to get in the next time you get the opportunity." Kassian has amassed 51 penalty minutes in 18 games this season and understands that he needs to limit the "stupid" ones. He plans to work hard at practice this week to hopefully return to the lineup on Friday against Grand Rapids.
