Healthy? No way.

I can't even remember the last time this happened, but the Komets don't have anyone on injured reserve tonight.

So, with the exception of Matt Syroczynski still being with Norfolk of the American Hockey League, this is the closest we'll have seen to the Komets' actual preferred lineup all season.

Defenseman Brandon Warner is the scratch against Bloomington. Speaking of Warner, I'm not entirely sure I agree with him splitting time between forward and defense. Should he be runnning the point on the power play at least?
