Jagr skated on a line with Adam Henrique and Damien Brunner.
Brunner was in Devils camp on a professional tryout but has obviously impressed them enough to earn a contract. The 27-year-old had 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 games in his first NHL season with the Red WIngs.
Nyquist has made it clear that he wants to make the Red Wings roster out of camp, but he may be sent down. Due to the abundance of forwards the Red Wings have and being pushed up against the cap, Nyquist could start the season in AHL. Babcock still has the three young guys together on the third line, so we will have to wait and see what the Red Wings decide to do.
It has been a frustrating year for Helm who was only able to play in one game last season because of a back injury. He is now dealing with a groin injury along with the lingering back issue. Helm would be a welcomed sight in the Red Wings lineup, but at this time there is no timetable for his return.
Laich made his preseason debut last night after missing the start of training camp with the hip flexor injury. This could just be a precautionary measure to make sure that Laich will be healthy for the Caps season opener on October 1st.
“It looks like Trevor will miss a little bit of time,” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “I don’t think he’ll be able to start the season, but it won’t be a long time.” Daley, who was injured in Friday’s preseason game against Florida in San Antonio, wasn’t ready to say he’d miss the start of the season. “No, no. I am hoping not,” Daley said. “We’ll give it two days and we’ll have a better idea after two days.”
For people drafting Bernier or Reimer, get used to this. The two net minders are both having good preseasons and will likely split starts right down the middle this season.
Bolland has been day-to-day with a groin issue, but it sounds like he will be ready for the Maple Leafs season opener next Tuesday.
Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle says they feel it's best to play Clarkson as many games as possible in preseason given the time he will miss.
Giroux injured his hand in a golf incident this offseason. This is good news for the Flyers as it appears the injury will not force their star center to miss any regular season games. Giroux is one of the NHL's best playmakers and could make a run at the assists lead in 2013-14.
Niederreiter, known more for his scoring, had five hits, often came away from board battles with the puck and is getting stronger without the puck every game, coach Mike Yeo said.
“He has moments in these games where he’s able to create chances, able to draw penalties, and that’s the kind of player he is. And that’s huge,” Yeo said. “I didn’t like his first period. I thought that he got stronger in the second period and in the third period, he changed the game.”
Cowen is great defensively but has yet to completely develop into a two-way defenseman. In his first full season he scored five times and added 12 assists in 82 games, a total he will look to build on in 2013-14. At 6-foot-5, 230 lbs. and just 22-years-old Cowen could become a force to be reckoned with, however until he starts producing more offensively he should remain on the waiver wire.
“I feel like a team like Boston, they like to use their speed a lot, their backcheck and their forecheck,” Spooner said. “I think that’s one of my strengths is my speed, so I think if I’m smart about it, I could fit in here.”
The 25-year-old landed a pair of two-handed slashes on Scott after he dropped his gloves to initiate a fight in the third period of Sunday’s exhibition.
Weise is not fantasy relevant.
Gagner lost teeth and broke his jaw as a result of Kassian's high-stick.
This is good news for the Red Wings, they will most certainly have Alfredsson in their opening night roster vs. the Sabres.
Tootoo is not fantasy relevant.
