It's probably time we start hilighting the players that are coming back from injury as well, given the lack of healthy bodies in the entire organization. The Bulldogs will be using Joonas Nattinen in Aaron Palushaj's spot for this weekend's series in St. John's, Newfoundland. Nattinen missed all of training camp in both the NHL and AHL, and will be broken in on RW with Brian Willsie (C) and Brock Trotter (LW) despite his natural position being centre.

Louis Leblanc is also close to a return following off-season shoulder surgery, following a similar recovery as Lars Eller.
