EDIT: 1:51 pm–Lindy Ruff said Rasmus Dahlin is going to be ok. Just a maintenance day.

If Dahls ends up out on injury it’s important to remember that they’ve continued to succeed without him repeatedly through the season, and can do it again on this current win streak.
That said, hope it’s not a big injury and just taking a day off.
Fairburn confirmed he’s fine, maintenance day
The schedule has been brutal this month, and the past couple games it’s shown. Awesome that they’re still finding ways to win. Tomorrow’s game is their 11th game in 19 days, and they haven’t had two days of rest in a row since January 4-5. I think the Olympic break is going to do a lot of good for the guys who aren’t playing.
Olympic break needs to come. Get the boys healthy.
It scared me for a minute that dahlin wasn’t on the ice, but damn, my guy deserves a real break before the Olympics.
Since both UPL and Lyon have showed they can be quality tendies as of late, I wouldn’t mind a “play till you lose” strategy. Not complaining about Lyon in there, but I wonder if that could help, a little cutthroat competition.
Is this game happening tomorrow?
18 inches of snow in NYC. I’m watching prices.
He appeared to be grabbing his stomach as he was hunched over on the bench in the last couple of minutes of the Montreal game
What’s the word on Josh Norris lately?
He looked in a lot of pain late in the third on the bench he was holding his side or arm
