Deans Doghouse refers to players out of favor with coach Dean Evason, including Yegor Chinakhov, Dante Fabbro, Boone Jenner, and Kent Johnson. Chinakhov, a top-six forward, is stuck in a fourth-line role and seeks a trade. Fabbro moved from a top defensive pairing to the third line, while Jenner experienced a demotion before an injury. Severson, previously in the doghouse, has rebounded this season. Johnson, the fifth overall pick, has struggled with only five points in seventeen games and a minus-eight rating. He was demoted and sat as a healthy scratch but showed improvement in a recent game, offering hope hes finding his way out of the coachs doghouse.
