In a bid to strengthen their defensive unit, the team's management has assigned a key analyst, Brzustewicz, to focus on improving the team's defensive strategy. With the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of the game's defensive side, Brzustewicz is expected to analyze data and identify areas for improvement. Meanwhile, the team is also making moves to bolster their defensive depth by sending goalies George and Slukynsky to the AHL for further development and to gain valuable experience in a more competitive environment. The decision to send these players to the AHL is seen as a strategic move to prepare them for potential call-ups to the main roster.
