Looking forward to practice on Friday night and seeing how it is. See where we’re at. But I’m feeling a lot better than I did three weeks ago, that’s for sure.”

“Faceoffs are the hardest thing I do,” he noted. “It’s a lot harder to take a faceoff against a guy like (Rochester’s) Dylan Evans than it is to play a full shift of D or run transition. If the opportunity presents itself and I’m ready to go on Saturday morning, I’m sure it’ll be a game-time decision for Curt and they’ll collectively make the best decision for the team.
