After the morning skate, coach David Quinn said he hadn’t decided yet whether he would stay with the same defense corps, and leave Brady Skjei out for a second straight game.
“I’m dying to get him back in, but listen, we’ve got guys who can play,’’ Quinn said. “It’s not an easy decision. There’s a lot that goes into these decisions and there’s going to be a time where you tell a guy he’s not in and the answer’s going to be, ‘Because.’ ’’
In the end, Quinn dressed all seven defensemen in warm-ups but chose not to put Skjei back in.
