According to Katie Carrera, injured players Mike Knuble and Dennis Wideman both skated before practice with the strength and conditioning coach. Knuble was not shooting much and was shooting gingerly when he did, so it does not look like he is feeling that much better. He said that his status is up in the air for game 5, but was insistent that he would play this postseason.
Wideman is continuing to work his way back, but there is still no timetable for a return, although he did say he hopes to practice by the end of the week. The defenseman says that the only time he feels pain is when he is in the trainer's room.
Today was an optional practice after 92 minutes of hockey last night, so only the scratches partook in the actual practice: Semyon Varlamov, Sean Collins, DJ King, Tom Poti, Tyler Sloan, and Jay Beagle. Players participated in some drills with the coaching staff but other than that, it was a rather quiet day in Ballston. As it should be.
That's all for now. Check back later.
