Harrison Scott and Trey Taylor have been sent back to the AHL.

… and Justin Hryckowian has been recalled to Dallas.

Lian Bichsel is gunning for our jobs.

Everybody around here is very happy for Alex Petrovic making the team. Not just his buddy.

Glen Gulutzan said when Jim Nill told Petrovic to get a place in Dallas during camp, it was a “good event” for the whole team.

I will have to look it up, but I can’t imagine Jason Robertson has received many roughing penalties in his career.

Robertson on Wedgewood. Always a fun battle.

Wedgewood with a split save earlier. Robertson wins this one with the five-hole breakaway goal.

2-0.

Glen Gulutzan said he is bringing an extra forward and defenseman tonight because of the illness running through the team. Doesn’t want to have to play short.

He would not give any specifics on the planned scratches.

No lines at morning skate today.

Everyone on the roster (other than Jamie Benn of course) was accounted for.

Glen Gulutzan also not skating with the group.

Dallas only worked on PP at morning skate...

I guess they just wanted tonight to be PK practice to even things out.
