Letting the days go by

So Jack Capuano says a couple of players might not play this weekend. “Only two games this weekend, then we don’t play for a week, there’s no sense rushing guys back for a two-game weekend.”

Colliton and Haley, he meant? Actually, no. Both of them are candidates to return. Haley said he felt good — “Don’t I look good?” he joked — as did Colliton, who ended a little post-practice three-on-three with a sweet upstairs backhander. (“Gotta mix it in now and then,” he said.) Capuano said a couple of other guys are “dinged up. I don’t want to play them if they’re 75, 80 percent.”

So who’d he mean? Presumably Nathan Lawson. It appears Len DiCostanzo will make the trip with them to back up, though Capuano said he still had to talk to Garth Snow to make the final decision on that. They seem fine with that, for a weekend at least. Dustin Kohn was off skates, reportedly sore. The forward lines looked plausible, with Colliton taking Hennigar’s place from Sunday’s lineup, and Hennigar skating with Haley and Morency.

Joe Callahan may be coming back down, but nothing official on him yet, either.

Rookie-goals leader Oskar Osala got the call from Hershey. I am beginning to think Coco is never going.

And finally, good golly, people, keep your fingers out of the snowblower.
