LW Peter Schaefer left the morning session with a strained groin. His status is unknown for tomorrow nights game in Philadelphia. After talking with a few people after the morning session which is split into 2 groups, one from 9-11am and the other from 11:15-1:15pm at the Bell Sensplex, I doubt Schaefer will play in Philly.
Couple the Schaefer groin injury with that of Alfredsson and this really hurts rookie Alexei Kaigorodov as these are his 2 linemates for the pre-season. The coaching staff wanted to see how he played with them throughout the pre-season.
The coaching staff kept Alfie off the ice today, really no surprise.
I will post all info from tomorrows pre-game skate which takes place at 10:30am. As soon as I have line-ups confirmed I will post it all.
