Stoll ready to move ahead to Game 3

There’s good news all around in the aftermath of Jarret Stoll’s hit on Ian White in Game 1. White, who missed Game 2, was medically cleared and was scheduled to practice Monday, according to the San Jose Mercury News, and there are apparently no hard feelings between White and Stoll, who served a one-game suspension and will return for Game 3. Stoll said he had communicated with White since the hit…

STOLL: “I texted him, and we chatted a couple times. He appreciated the text and reaching out to him. I wanted to make sure I did that, and let him know that I didn’t mean to hurt him in any way.”

Stoll was told that White was scheduled to return to practice today…

STOLL: “That’s good. That’s good to hear. Like I said from the start, there wasn’t any intent to go in and hurt the guy. I know him a little bit, from playing against him in junior, and I know he’s a good guy. It was what it was, I’m sorry it happened, I’m sorry I missed a game and I’m happy that our team came out and got the win. I’m looking forward to Game 3 here.”

Question: Is there anything that you could see and learn while watching Game 2?

STOLL: “Just areas of the ice that are open, that are available. I don’t think it’s anything new that we didn’t know from scouting this team. But you definitely see things. It was good to watch the game. Obviously I would have liked to have been out there playing, but it was what it was, and it’s over now so I’m looking forward to Game 3.”
