Playfair shuffles the deck In an effort to rouse his team from a stretch of inconsistent play, Jim Playfair went the video game route and hit the reset button on his lineup. The Abbotsford Heat head coach test-drove a fresh batch of forward lines when the Heat returned to practice on Tuesday following a one-win, two-loss road trip.
