Mike Babcock on Frederik Andersen’s workload, DJ Smith’s future, Auston Matthews’ status

How important is the schedule right now with the breaks in between games? We can see Auston out with the main group for a bit, and also just to get this club reset for the task at hand?

Babcock: We had three days off in six days, which we planned into our schedule. We came up with a schedule and set it up so the guys could get recharged. We also feel we can get skating way better again as a group, and that’s a huge priority for us. We’ll try to do that as well, and then get our details done.
