New face at practice today + Line Update
Travis Dermott is back with a normal jersey in practice.
The defenseman had been skating with the team for a while, but for the first time today he's skating with a normal jersey indicating he can take contact.
It means he's definitely getting closer to a return, which could definitely help the team's defensive struggle. He could potentially be taking Riley Stillman's spot in tomorrow's matchup against the Coyotes.
Here are the projected lines for tomorrow as seen during today's skate:
Nils Hoglander is back on top with Bo Horvat and J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson's line remains unchanged and Brock Boeser is back with Sheldon Dries and Conor Garland.
The Dmen showed Stillman skated with Tyler Myers, which was a disaster yesterday. Dermott skated alongside Burroughs.
