Sheldon Keefe on Justin Holl’s recent struggles: “He likes direct & honest feedback, and it’s been more direct because [his struggles] have been snowballing… He is an important guy that we need to get more out of”

You mentioned the other day Ilya Samsonov is a little under the weather. How is he doing today?

Keefe: It seems like he is shaking it off. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it was something that going into the Vegas game that was bothering him. He pushed through it. Given how much we had to rely on him in that game, in particular, we thought it made sense to give him the extra day.
