"How well do you know James Reimer, if at all? Berube: He's an NHL goalie. He's been an NHL goalie. I have never met the guy. When do you expect Reimer to join the group? Berube: Tomorrow. Does this suggest that Joseph Woll might take a little bit longer than expected to return? Berube: No, it doesn't suggest anything. It is just depth."
"What did you like about Matias Maccelli's game in Montreal? What are you looking for from him moving forward? Berube: I thought he played a good game last night. He got pucks in traffic and got out of traffic with the puck. He moved his feet. He was protecting it. I liked that he got pucks through the neutral zone and was moving his feet. He advanced the puck well and made good decisions with it."
"What is the key for Morgan Rielly to succeed on the top power-play unit? Berube: Has he not had success on it before here? He could probably do the same thing. It is always up and down on the power play. It is not on one guy. It is on all five guys to work together and do things right. It is not complicated. Morgan has to move pucks to the flanks, obviously, and he has to shoot the puck."
James Reimer will join camp on a PTO tomorrow to provide goaltending depth; Joseph Woll's return timeline remains unchanged. Matias Maccelli showed strong puck protection, skating, and decision-making, advancing pucks through the neutral zone and shooting from the half wall on the power play. Morgan Rielly's success on the top power-play unit depends on collective execution, moving pucks to the flanks, and taking shooting opportunities when available. Anthony Stolarz demonstrated the capacity to handle a larger workload in net. Practice line combinations and defensive pairings were circulated during the session.
