Kaiden Guhle skated with his teammates for the first time since undergoing an appendectomy.
To wrap up the morning affair, a final group practiced at the facility following the main skate.
QUOTES OF THE DAY
Owen Beck on possibly facing more NHL lineups as preseason play continues:
Yeah, I guess you might start to see more NHL lineups as teams start to narrow down the rosters. Obviously, there’s still a little variation between the teams at this point in time. As you move down the stretch here towards the regular season, I think teams will start to basically play their full NHL lineup with a few guys in that are still fighting for spots.
Logan Mailloux on wanting to play a big game tonight:
Definitely, I think I got to get better every day. I think I’ve had a decent camp but not great. I definitely need to have one of my best ones tonight. [...] I don’t know if there’s anything specifically [that I want to show tonight], but I just want to kind of play my game to be honest and be the best I can.
David Savard on how a defenseman can be successful on the penalty kill in light of Jordan Harris and Johnathan Kovacevic’s departures this summer:
I think it’s also a matter of knowing where the other team is going to send the puck. You have to think about what they are trying to do because they’ve got talented players on the other side. We’re down a player, so you really need to read the play and sacrifice the body to block shots. [...]
