[Hall] Rasmus Ristolainen defending at morning skate. He was on a pair with Emil Andrae, so looks like he could be returning tonight. He has missed last six games with upper-body injury.

Also: [Dan Vladar is here at morning skate. So is Aleksei Kolosov, so we’ll see if Vladar will play. But right now, Samuel Ersson is warming up like the starter. We’ll know soon when we talk to Rick Tocchet.](https://xcancel.com/JHallNBCS/status/2015807190024483273)
EDIT: And now Ersson is the first goalie off the ice, so looks like he will be starting.
Return of Risto = Stanley Cup Run
Show me the lie.
Shoot, I was under the mistaken impression that we had traded him for Quinn Hughes. Shit me.
Please for the love of christ let this dude have a stretch of healthy games so we can ship him at the deadline. Just get anything at this point.
