Ryan and Lewis go out with the old and in with the new on a shiny New Year's episode of Short Shifts. After starting the show with some discussion of Laine, Michkov, and Fowler, the guys get into injury news and rate our confidence in replacement PPQBs in Carolina and Vancouver while the regulars recuperate. The boys also find time to discuss injuries to Shesterkin, Zetterlund, Eklund, Guentzel, and Marchment, with a bit of happier news as Drouin makes his return. Finally, the hot streaks of the suddenly resurgent Sabres get the credit they're due before your hosts head off to New Year's festivities.
