I don't think that's his point at all.
Anyone who knows anything about how the Murrays and MacStache work, know that hard work and results are rewarded. Lehner has been great in the AHL. The plan was to get him some NHL work at some point this season if he was a good soldier in Bingo, and that's been the case.
They were carrying three goalies for the first two games of the year, and in both of those games,was phenomenal. Lehner was the only goalie who could be sent down without waivers. That's why he didn't get a game when he was with us at the start of the season. This could very well be the last time he's with the big club this season, so they almost have to give him this game as a reward.
It's pretty much impossible to dispute what I've written about this, so don't even try.
Or maybe it's because last time he faced the Bruins he had a 1-0 shutout.
