Nico Sturm was ruled as a game-time decision with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot off his foot. Coach Warsofsky noted Sturm's strong performance and expressed concern about his potential absence, saying, "He's playing well right now. I think he's playing some of his best hockey. So if he can't go, it'll be a tough loss... Everything's a little bit up in the air right now." This highlights the impact Sturm's injury could have on the team's strategy for the upcoming game.
Regarding the availability of other players, head coach Ryan Warsofsky mentioned that Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci, and Alexander Wennberg "should be" ready for tomorrow's game against the New Jersey Devils. William Eklund, who recently returned from injury, fully participated in practice but isn't officially ruled in. Warsofsky added, "It's too early still," indicating a cautious approach to player readiness as they prepare for the matchup.
