Yesterday, we reported that Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield missed the pre-game practice to receive treatments. For the captain, it's becoming a recurring issue, and it's quite concerning.
Now, a third player has joined them, as the entire first line was absent from Sunday morning's MANDATORY practice.
Indeed, Suzuki, Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky are all missing. The four-day break is coming at the right time because this situation is genuinely scary.
There will be a significant gap in the practice, and it can be inferred that none of the three are currently at 100%. Fortunately for other teams, as they are simply on fire right now.
