Carbery on Max Paccioretty's timetable:

"I’m trying not to get a date or something because I just know it’s going to be a process. So, whether that’s mid-November, late November, mid-December, sort of as it gets closer, I think then we’ll kind of figure out a target date.”

Carbery said pairing Ovechkin & Backstrom together was to start them with familiarity as they adjust to new systems. Said a lot more combos will get a look:

"There's a method to the madness."

@ByMattWeyrich
Evgeny Kuznetsov says he’s dealing with a lower-body injury that cropped up over the summer. It’s not something he expects to limit him in camp or prevent him from skating but they will monitor it moving forward.
