Training session for extras this morning.
RHP and Ylonen are the only two players on the ice.
Among the goaltenders, Allen, Montembeault AND Primeau are on the ice.
The mystery remains. Is the CH considering giving the net of the day to Yippee? pic.twitter.com/UigjKuUqIK

In the last few days, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard was seen skating with the regulars. Seeing him skate was, in context, good news for the Quebecer, who has a lower-body injury.
Since the CH has 14 forwards and six defensemen on hand, it’s logical to predict that the two forwards who jumped on the ice are the guys who won’t be playing tonight.
With all that in mind, let’s note that Jesse Ylönen and RHP skated.
This may mean that, at the time of writing, the Quebecer is not in a position to play – even if he does look fit. Otherwise, I think he’d be ahead of a guy like Joel Armia. No?
As for Ylönen, he’s only played in one of the last five games, the one in Arizona. Remember, he was born there.
We’ll see what Martin St-Louis thinks, but all three goalies skated. We know that Jake Allen skated before the others, but we don’t yet know what to conclude with certainty.
Jake Allen is the first on the ice. He’s been out there solo for a while now.

In the last two seasons (the first two under the…
