Andy Strickland: Forward is expected to play tonight.
Joe Haggerty: Backes confirms that he left Tuesday’s game in the third period to go to the Quiet Room after taking a high hit from Nick Ritchie: “It’s not a terrible idea with head injuries to say ‘let’s make sure there’s nothing here, so you don’t go out get another hit to the head.”
Joe Haggerty: Forward Anders Bjork and Noel Acciari are doubtful for tonight. They weren’t on the ice for practice yesterday.
