"What is the update on Joseph Woll? Is it better than expected? Berube: He'll be a week, hopefully. That's where he is at right now. No, it's not "better"; "better" would be that he is ready to go tonight, haha, but that is not the case. We are not expecting it to be too long. I am not going to comment too much on it. One week."
"Do you expect to roll with Dennis Hildeby the whole week, or do you anticipate Artur Akhtyamov could make his NHL debut? Berube: I am just going to focus on Dennis going tonight. We will play by ear after that, with where we are at. We have a little bit of room this week. I know we play Monday again, so it is a quick turnaround there, but we have a little time. There is a possibility that he could go the distance here."
"What is the mental challenge for the team coming off a long road trip and now with Woll's absence? Berube: I don't think the mindset changes. I don't. I think you have to just go out and keep playing. We had a great trip. It is about not being complacent tonight and being ready to go from the drop of the puck. I don't think much changes with our game based on who is in net. Dennis has played well for us. He came in the other night and did a good job. We have confidence in Dennis."
Joseph Woll will be out for about one week and is not available tonight. Dennis Hildeby will start the upcoming game and could potentially play multiple appearances this week, while Artur Akhtyamov remains an option. The team's mindset remains focused after a long road trip, prioritizing sustained effort and avoiding complacency. Goaltending expectations remain consistent regardless of the starter, given confidence in Hildeby's recent performance. The organization is using a next-man-up approach amid numerous injuries, with depth players stepping in and seizing increased opportunities.
