Team Notes for Sunday

I'm a little late getting to this, but better late than never!!

• Yesterday, the team held a short afternoon practice at 11 AM prior to leaving on a plane to Detroit at 2 PM (it was only about 20 minutes long, but some players decided to stay longer to get a little more work in)
  

  Head coach Dan Bylsma called the session "short and sweet." He also said the abbreviated practice was partially due to give the players a much needed rest to gear up for the final 10-game stretch.

• The only players not to participate yesterday were Malkin, Gonchar, and Cooke; however, Malkin is expected to be in the lineup tonight against the Red Wings.

Stay tuned for more with the pre-game notes later today!!
