Jeff Schultz will draw back into Washington's lineup on Wednesday night.
His last game action came on Dec. 31 and this will mark just the seventh time he has suited up since Dale Hunter took over the coaching reigns in late November. "He's a defensive defenseman, we want to see him play sound defensively because he's not an offensive D and he's not going to be a tough guy out there," said Hunter when asked what he expects of Schultz against Florida. "So, we need him to be a defensive defenseman." The 25-year-old blueliner has contributed five assists and a plus-1 rating in 27 games.
