Hopefully Ullmark is good to go.

I figured soogaard was getting the call regardless. Suppose Ullmark plays, gets thru the Winnipeg game, wakes up stiff and can't back up in Minnesota.

Fingers crossed that Ullmark is ready to go

People speak of the long road trip but the entire month of January will be a huge grind:

1. Team is scheduled to play 15 games. That's a ton of hockey.

2. We'll be mostly facing playoff teams.

3. Four back to backs

4. Ullmark is not healthy

I don't see how we come out of it in a playoff spot, especially if we lose the next two games with a rookie in net.

Well. We need to stay .500 lol. Big time treading water here.

The team has played some tight hockey for a while, and are clearly capable of limiting chances against.

It's time to rally around the young goalies, play disciplined and gut out some ugly wins.

Getting the PP sorted out on the road, would be huge, too. Let's win some special teams battles.

The next 3 games are going to be very difficult without Ullmark. I honestly wouldn’t be that disappointed with 1-2.

Kaprizov is day to day, so there’s a chance he might not play Sunday. That would obviously be a huge break for us.

Winnipeg record outside their 10-11 game win streak to start the season is something like 15-10 very winnable game

Standings on Nov 23rd:
Winnipeg 17-4-0 34pts 1st place in the league, 4pts ahead of Minnesota
Ottawa 8-11-1 17 pts, one point out of last place in the league

Since:
Ottawa 10-3-1 21 pts tied for 1st place in the league
Winnipeg: 8-6-1 15pts, playoff bubble team

Kaprizov is day to day, so there’s a chance he might not play Sunday. That would obviously be a huge break for us.

Also out is Erikkson-Ek and Jake Middleton and Minnesota has gone 3-6 the last 9 games mostly with Kaprizov IN the lineup. They've been one of the worst teams the last few weeks.

Too much doom and gloom here, these will still be tough games and maybe Ullmark won't be available, but they can get points here.

Sounds like some adversity for the team to rally around.

In all honesty, if they come out of Jan within 5 points if the playoffs and healthy I'll still be a playoff believer.
