I'm barely leading in PIMs halfway through this 2-week H2H playoff round, and I'm behind 5-3-1 overall.
I am planning on starting Dupuis and Tlusty at LW. Dupuis still seems to be producing sans Crosby, and plays the defensively weak Hurricanes, Lightning, and Panthers. Tlusty has 4 games, though two are against Boston.
I cut ties earlier in the season with Clowe, but it looks like he's getting good ice time and linemates in New York. Is he worth a pick-up? Should he start over either of the above?
I also have a utility spot, Presumably for one of my RW this week.
On the Rangers' schedule, there are 2 games against Toronto, the most penalized team in the league and home of Colton Orr and Mark Fraser. I don't know if Clowe has any history with either of those two, but if so that would be an extra incentive to grab him.
Thanks in advance for your insights!

I should add that I am so far behind in +/- that it should not factor into the analysis at all. I am well ahead in goals, well behind in assists, and the other three skater cats are close.
