Hagel and Sergachev could be ready
Joe Smith: Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper said that forward Brandon Hagel and defenseman Mikhail Sergachev could be ready for Game 1.
Draisaitl and Nurse able to practice
Daniel Nugent-Bowman: Before the Edmonton Oilers left for Colorado yesterday, forward Leon Draisaitl and defenseman Darnell Nurse skated with the team.
Take that as a good sign as Draisaitl hadn’t practiced with the team since Game 6 in the first round and Nurse of late had been missing practices.
No COVID issues for the Oilers on their long journey to Denver
Daniel Nugent-Bowman: The Oilers flew from Edmonton to Vancouver, then bused to Bellingham, Washington before flying to Denver.
By crossing the border on the ground they didn’t have to take COVID tests.
Jason Gregor: The Oilers also bused across the border in round one against the LA Kings.
There were some unexpected delays but mostly due to the large size of the group.
No players tested positive and they didn’t have to test.
