Four Red Wings skaters still out on the ice practicing with Jonathan Bernier -- the two extras (Biega and Lindstrom) at one end, and the two Filips, Hronek and Zadina, ripping shots on Bernier at the other.
from Michael Smith of the Canes website,
Back in Action: Dougie Hamilton is set to play his first regular season game since Jan. 16, 2020, when he sustained a season-ending leg injury in Columbus. Prior to the injury, Hamilton racked up 40 points (14g, 26a) in his first 47 games, which still ranked fourth on the team for the entire season.
Brett Pesce is making his return to the ice for the first time since Feb. 22, 2020, when he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Toronto. Unlike Hamilton, Pesce was unable to join the Canes in the bubble for the playoffs, so it's safe to say he's happy to be back and healthy.
Potent Quotables
"Roddy has prepared us mentally enough to where we're ready to go. ... All the guys are ready to get on the road and start this thing." - Jaccob Slavin
"We're excited. I think the guys are just ready to play. They're tired of practicing, so let's have at it." - Rod Brind'Amour
"We're here to win. That means win everything. That's the expectation, and that hasn't changed. But, we're not making the playoffs today. We've got to build through this and make sure we're on the right track. ... We're all in here. We're all in to win it." - Brind'Amour
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
