This means that those who were on the perceived roster bubble such as forwards Vladislav Kamenev and Valeri Nichushkin as well as defensemen Ryan Graves and yes Conor Timmins made the NHL club.
There was a scare at practice on Tuesday as Cale Makar was noticed missing but Jared Bednar said he was just resting a minor tweak. Considering the roster moves that were just made on defense seem to support that Makar should be ready to go Thursday evening.
Speaking of Makar, his interest in the study of sports psychology was the focus of this lengthy feature.
