Back from injury, that remains his focus.

Injury update: #GoBolts Jon Cooper said even some of the guys who practiced today won’t be available tomorrow, don’t assume anything.
“We’re a little bit of a MASH unit right now….we’ll have to wake up tomorrow and see where we’re at.”
Hope is for Nick Paul to play next week.

Some love for Douglas and Finley today. They lead the stretch after today’s skate and get some stick taps following their first NHL points on Wednesday.

“There’s no excuse because the guys came up here and they played really good.”

That's a great, great shift by Katchouk. He gets Kucherov the puck, who sets up Goncalves for an in-tight chance but the save is made.
