Answer: Brian Rolston

When Sergei Samsonov went down with the wrist injury, Robbie Ftorek wisely chose to go with Mike Knuble who filled in brilliantly with his best season of his career. When the team was struggling a little bit, Ftorek tried a number of players including P.J. Axelsson and Martin Lapointe.
