In Calder's words

It's early in the season, but Kyle Calder has experienced the highs - playing on the top line with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown, where he'll play again tonight - and being a healthy scratch for four games.
``Definitely (it's tough), on anybody it is,'' Calder said. ``It's something they see. You can't let it bother you. You have to show what you can do and work hard.''
Playing on this line is a grand opportunity for Calder - who had 59 points with Chicago in 2005-06.
``They're two great players that I'm playing with right now,'' Calder said. ``I just have to go out there, work hard and play the way I know how to play.''
