Joe Haggerty of CSNNE: Defensemen Kevan Miller and Colin Miller didn’t practice yesterday but are getting close to returning. Colin (lower-body) skated yesterday before practice. Kevan has been out with a concussion.
“Kevan was actually feeling really well and then he got hit by a virus that’s kept him in bed for the last two days,” said Julien. “It’s nothing to do with his original injury. There was a possibility he could have been ready very soon, but that’s set him back a bit.”
Both won’t play today, but could return to practice this week.
