Briefly

Craig Berube on the recent play of Auston Matthews & his line: "He has really stepped it up... The speed on the line has really helped Auston"
"Jake McCabe is probably a week with a lower-body injury. It could be sooner, but I would guess a week. Chris Tanev is a possible surgery (situation). This last injury is totally different, so that is the surgery part. He is going to get looked at this week. Anthony Stolarz is skating and getting better. Right now, he is still (indefinite). He hasn't even been in a practice with us. He is just (skating) on his own."
"William Nylander is day-to-day. He skated a bit today on his own. He is getting better, but he is still not able to play. Brandon Carlo practiced with us today. We will see if he is available tomorrow. Dakota Mermis is skating, but he is still a ways away. Dakota Joshua is still indefinite with the lacerated kidney. It takes some time."
Multiple players across the roster are dealing with injuries and varying timelines. Jake McCabe likely will miss about a week with a lower-body injury. Chris Tanev faces a possible surgery and will be evaluated this week. Anthony Stolarz is skating on his own but remains indefinite and has not yet practiced with the team. William Nylander is day-to-day, skating on his own, but not cleared to play. Brandon Carlo practiced and could be available soon. Dakota Mermis is skating but remains a ways away. Dakota Joshua remains indefinite while recovering from a lacerated kidney. Coach emphasized the difficulty on the backend but noted that players are stepping in and that left-shot defensive options such as Marshall Rifai and Matt Benning provide depth; Rifai recently returned to action with the Marlies.
