It was strange not seeing Corey Perry out there with Ryan Getzlaf at Anaheim Ice today.
Your lines in practice, sans Perry: Selanne-Getzlaf-Kunitz; Marchant-Weight-Bertuzzi; Rob Niedermayer-Pahlsson-Moen; May-Sutherby-Parros-Bobby Ryan.
Ryan won’t be a fourth-line guy from here on out. Carlyle was pretty adamant about this check out tomorrow’s notebook.
