No help today. No fewer than 10 guys weren’t on the ice. There’s apparently a rampant bug going through the team and its families. Ben Walter and Jeremy Colliton were missing for the good reason, called up; word is, though, that at least one of the two is himself sick. Now, does somebody else go, too? Good question. You are informed as I am informed.
So that turned a back-to-work practice into an optional. Otherwise missing for injury, sickness or option were Haskins, Bentivoglio, Morency, Haley, Kohn, Skinner, Gleed and Lawson. (Good news: Lawson is feeling better, injury-wise. Bad news: He’s got the bug.)
