Sheldon Keefe on Jake Muzzin returning in time for the playoffs: “The reality is he’s not going to be playing at 100%, but he means a lot to our team”

Is this a rare situation where you prepare for Friday’s game but you also kind of have to have what’s after the game in mind in terms of preparation?

Keefe: Yeah, it is. Up until last night, we were still playing for something. At this point, the only true thing you are playing for now is for game one of the playoffs. You have to play game #82, so how can you use that game to be ready for the playoffs? That is to do your best to remain healthy but also to remain sharp, have good habits, and maximize your practice and preparation time off the ice.
