Orpik
4 Caps:
I wouldn’t read too much into this, I think they are just resting him because they have another game tomorrow night. No reason for Orpik who is 38 years old to be playing back to back games. Also this gives Djoos a chance to play with Jensen so that they gain familiarity with each other’s style of play in case they need to play together in the playoffs although I don’t see that happening unless there is an injury to one of the other defenseman.

For elder statesmen, such as ourselves, we refer to this as "resting for the playoffs" or "a maintenance day"
Not "getting benched"
