Berube commented on Ryan Reaves' five-game suspension, stating, "It's tough. It's a lot, but at the same time, I get it. They've come down hard on hits to the head." He emphasized that while the ruling felt heavy, it reflects the league's stance on head injuries, suggesting some understanding of the circumstances around the hit.
Regarding Calle Jarnkrok's situation, Berube expressed concern stating, "It is tough for Jarny right from camp. He has to get it fixed. He will be out of the lineup. It is too bad. He is a player who we like and can help us." This highlights Jarnkrok's importance to the team and the challenges his absence presents.
On Auston Matthews' potential return, Berube noted, "Well, it does [help to have a light week of games]. It has been a tough schedule. There have been a lot of back-to-backs and three-in-fours. It's a lot of games and a lot of hockey." This indicates the physical toll on players and the benefits of recovery time.
