EDMONTON, AB - Ahead of a three-game road trip beginning tomorrow against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Head Coach Ken Hitchcock had to evaluate the status of a number of players including Ty Rattie and Matt Benning at Tuesday's morning skate.
"Rattie participated fully and looks like a player," Hitchcock said of the Airdrie, Alberta product after blocking a shot off the foot on Saturday against San Jose and leaving the game in the first period. "We got through with Benning, but we'll see on Matt tomorrow."
