Insert “too early for this” joke
The early guys would be on the ice at about the time they went on for warmup today. Weird.
Alan Quine got the call back up to the Islanders this morning, so Michael Dal Colle will return in what would’ve been his spot; otherwise, they look as they did yesterday.
The Phantoms rushed all seven defensemen; James de Haas was the seventh, for what it’s worth. (Edit: He’s the scratch.)
