"I don't know. It is such a hard thing," coach Bruce Boudreau said when asked what Alzner needs to do to become a permanent fixture on his roster. "I want to see him be really consistent. The last time he was up here, it was the consistency. I thought he had three really good games, a mediocre game and a not-so-good game. If he could keep that consistency like the very first time he played when he was up here [Nov. 25 against Buffalo], he would be hard to send down."
