In Kyle Dubas’s version of the world, the closest thing to Marleau in the room is the 36-year-old Jason Spezza. Coach Mike Babcock started camp by picking on Spezza; Spezza was cruelly scratched for the home opener, too. Now Spezza appears to be in for a second straight game going into Thursday against Tampa, playing with Frederik Gauthier and Nic Petan. And you’ve got to to have a tighter focus for the minutes you’re playing. So I think it’s a lot of just figuring out, what is a good game?
