Hishon will play in Game 4

Patrick Roy has announced that Joey Hishon will play in Game 4 against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night. He'll be on the fourth line with Paul Carey Brad Malone and Patrick Bordeleau.* He will also get power play time.

His first NHL game is in the playoffs, folks. Let that sink in. #NERVES

*Turns out that McLeod was just resting today, so the fourth line in practice was temporary. Hish will certainly get protected, but man, is he going to get frustrated with the lack of finishing power on that line.
