LWL says: "Will travel with the team after missing today's practice." Their source is: https://twitter.com/mloftus_ledger/s...92193511849984

Yahoo now has a note saying he missed practice and isn't believed to be 100%, but he should play. It's a very important game between Tor and Bos, and should have a playoff like atmosphere because of how much is on the lines. I have no doubt he will play and would start him with confidence.

It's pretty normal at this time of year for some players to skip practices and constantly get the DTD status without missing any games. I've seen it often with Hossa and Kunitz over the years.

With the Bs fighting for a playoff spot, Bergeron would have to be hit by a truck and then attacked by wild boars before he'd consider missing a game. Of course that begs the question as to how good he'll be if he's less than 100%; but if it's a question of whether or not he'll play when listed as day-to-day, he's one of the safest guys to bank on as a yes.

Same deal with Backes I suppose?

Very weird to still not see an update about this.

The info on Backes is that he'll be a game time decision due to an illness. Perhaps the locker room got hit with a bug?

[ericdaoust]

Do players have weak immune systems or something?
