Awful poor Vinhappened to be there and see the injury. it was early on and coach was running up-tempo drill. i believe it was an odd-man rush drill with backcheckers and regroups around center ice where forwards wait along boards in the neutral zone. lots going on. was watching pasta in particular and saw him end the drill by unwittingly backing into lettieri, falling on top of him. freak play.
pasta got up, leaned over to check on lettieri before motioning to the trainers. no weight on the leg as he was skating off the ice with help.
i didn't recognize the player at the time but have been watching team updates to find out who it was.

Not listed in practice lineups by Fluto and others, apparently not skating yet?Any word on Nosek to start the second half
Nosek is also top 10 in FO%That's rough to hear. Nosek is kinda in the same category as Forbort. Goes under the radar to the average fan because he isn't flashy yet plays important minutes on the PK and when the star players need a breather and defensively reliable.
Should this say Nosek?DeBrusk is in game shape, Montgomery said, and his busted thumb is 100 percent.

he had busted foot and hand I believe.
I like the approach, Jake is to important to this team to F aroundToday’s Globe:
DeBrusk’s not there yet
Jake DeBrusk again sat out, after word earlier in the week that he was likely to suit up for the first time since suffering a pair of fractures (hand/leg) in the Jan. 2 Winter Classic win at Fenway Park. “He’s not ready,” said Montgomery, who could use DeBrusk’s speed boost on a power play running just a tick or two too slow in his absence. “He’s really close. He had a good skate again [Wednesday], and just where he’s at, we think Saturday [home vs the Islanders], will be a real good opportunity. We felt if he played [Thursday night], then he wouldn’t be able to play Saturday.”
