Sometimes hard to read the theme of practice from outside the glass, but sure seemed like a “let’s not turn the thing over” kind of day. “Our team, we’ve got a strong, big team,” Brent Thompson said. “I’d like to take advantage of the size we have — and the guys who aren’t big are fast — I think we need to do a better job of puck protection.”

Connor Jones wasn’t on for it; tweaked a lower-body injury yesterday, day-to-day. Jesse Root went to that spot to even out the lines.

Players were making hospital visits this afternoon.

Providence’s Anthony Camara won’t play Friday; charging major Sunday. Boston called up Alexander Khokhlachev today.

Springfield’s Lucas Lessio was traded to Montreal for ex-Wolf Pack forward Christian Thomas. Ex-Yalie and AHL MVP Brian O’Neill on waivers.
