Monday practice update

The first group is done for the day, so here are a couple lunchtime notes…

— Erik Ersberg left the ice during the morning session. Terry Murray said Ersberg got hit by a shot on his glove hand yesterday and was experiencing pain today, but that x-rays were negative. You might remember that Ersberg suffered a similar injury early last season, which was one reason Murray gave for not playing him often early on.

— If Ersberg is healthy, he will play at Colorado on Wednesday in the exhibition opener. Jonathan Quick is scheduled to start Thursday’s game against Phoenix at Staples Center and Jonathan Bernier is scheduled to start Thursday’s game at Phoenix.

— Drills got cut short by about 10 minutes after a piece of plastic broke free from the end boards. Jarret Stoll did the damage, after a hit, and was flexing his hand but appeared to be OK.
