McLellan added that he’ll make final decisions later today depending on how the returning players feel after being off the ice for a week. He also gave the caveat there could be additional changes, based on any “bumps and bruises” that are uncovered after the skate. All players skated today with the exception of Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty.
