On the Pittsburgh Penguins …
Pittsburgh Penguins: Coach Mike Sullivan on Conor Sheary: “He has a lower-body injury. It happened in the 1st period in the offensive zone. Right now his status is day-to-day.”
Wes Crosby: Evgeni Malkin didn’t skate yesterday morning. Coach Sullivan said there is no significance of him not skating, just part of his rehab process.
Jonathan Bombulie: Forward Scott Wilson was skating with the main group at practice yesterday.
On the Tampa Bay Lightning …
Lightning Shout: Forward Tyler Johnson skated by himself before practice yesterday.
Lightning Insider: Coach Jon Cooper didn’t have an update on Johnson. It’s a good sign that he was on the ice yesterday, but was skating “very gingerly.”
Lightning Insider: Defenseman Jason Garrison didn’t skate yesterday.
Lightning Insider: Forward Steven Stamkos didn’t take part in any power play drills, so it’s unlikely he gets back in the lineup tonight.
On the Winnipeg Jets …
Sara Orlesky: Patrik Laine missed yesterday’s game with an illness.
On the Arizona Coyotes …
Sarah McLellan: Forward Shane Doan was the only Coyote not practicing yesterday.
Sarah McLellan: The Coyotes are going to keep Doan off the ice for a couple days. They are hoping rest will help his lower-body injury.
