Gustafsson left practice early this morning, no word why or if he can play tonight. Snively filled his spot. Lucas Johansen fills in for Alexeyev on D.


frikin 9 players on IR right now

Well, at least there are no concerns about the salary cap for right now.  We've got so much in LTIR exemptions we could bring up almost the entire Hershey roster!!


Shame about Alexeyev.   This was a chance for him to make a first serious statement at the NHL level, and he can't avoid the injury bug.


Speaking of first statements, with Kuemper out for who knows how long, this is Lindgren's first chance in his career to be "the man" for any non-negligible length of time.  His total exposure to the NHL before this season was about 1/2 of one regular season.  It will be interesting to see how he handles this, especially with a wounded team in front of him.

Orlov is playing tonight

which means there’s only 8 frikin players on IR


it also means McIlrath got sent back to Hershey

Yikees. Our bottom 2 D pairs are suspect. 3rd pair especially.. Prepare for a blood bath!! (For which team, who knows)  :raspberry:
