Polák says that he expects to be back for the Coyotes game.
Great that Oshie is fine, the way he skated off the ice it didn't look too serious. If he is still sore then I'd rather we left him out tonight, but I doubt he wants that!
I thought he looked perfectly fine to be honest.Oshie looked less able to win puck battles and fight through crowds of players than his normal, and his skating looked a little laboured. But, a slightly hampered Oshie is still a better-than-average NHL player. So, it's okay that he played and contributed to the 5-0 win.

any word on Steen's recovery?
yeah great depth, your team is fantastic this year with the emergence of Schwartz and further development of Tarasenko, Sobotka and of course Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk. Definitely the team I cheer for in the West. Has Backes been just as good since he came back from his concussion and latest injury?Nope, other than he didn't go on our Western Canada trip this week but was in St. Louis skating on his own. There is no timetable for his return, though none of us are worried as long as he is back after the Olympic break. We can survive that long without him but we'll need him for the playoff stretch.
Backes has been his normal self since his return.yeah great depth, your team is fantastic this year with the emergence of Schwartz and further development of Tarasenko, Sobotka and of course Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk.
