Group Shake Up

After going with similar groups for the first two days of camp, the third day saw the groups shake up. The lineup looked like this:

Lombardi - Klassen - McLaughlin
Tufte - White - Hameenaho
Steeves - Melovsky - Parent
Lachance - Schmelzer - Squires

Vilen - Diotte
Edwards - Casey
Hanzel - Leddy
Morin - Powell

Rittich
Malek

Anton Silaev is not with this group. He will have the opportunity to skate with a largely veteran group later today. Stay tuned!

Looks like this first group is almost strictly Utica players, save for the potential of Lombardi cracking the #NJDevils roster. He's out there with this group, as is Lenni Hämeenaho.

No regular NHLers are out there for the AM group.

Goalies on the ice are Rittich and Malek. https://t.co/Tu3aOzmIP3
