A couple of quick hits, from today’s practice:
- Matt Duchene was back on skates today. Not with the team at practice, but on his own beforehand. I did not see him skate, but accounts are that it went well. He’s still officially listed as out “indefinitely”, but you have to believe we’re probably talking only 1-2 more weeks at most if there was not a lot of pain today – and nobody has said there was.
- Tyson Barrie will make his NHL debut tomorrow night. Don’t know who among the defense will be scratched. Joe Sacco said he would decide that overnight.
- Peter Mueller skated on a line with Ryan O’Reilly and Gabriel Landeskog today.
That’s about it for now. I will go back to being bitter about the Super Bowl.
