The Narrative: Injury Updates, Crossing the Laine?, and Picks

1. Injury Updates

After an 82-game regular-season, no one’s at 100 percent. But who’s just hurting and who’s injured, and when will the latter group rejoin the former? We’ll go player-by-player:

Logan Thompson: Looks to be on track to be available for Game 1 after practicing in full on Saturday then again Sunday. Now, does that mean Spencer Carbery will give him the start after nearly three weeks sidelined and a 6-3-1/.876/3.20 run-up to that point?

Carbery may be playing coy, but Thompson is his number one goalie and likely a Vezina finalist, so there’s no need to overthink this one – the cage is his (and it’s not like Charlie Lindgren has been lights-out in LT’s absence).
