Also, Ersson starts. With it looking like Vladar may be back Friday, it looks like Kolosov will only get the one start before being sent back down.
I swear, it feels like one step forward, two steps back every time with these lineup changes.
I kind of feel bad for Kolosov that he isn’t going to get another start. I know he was bad, but I feel like at least give him a chance to try and bounce back and build off of something positive.

Surprised we haven’t extended Grundstrom yet.
