Tuesday skate update

John Stevens said that all available players will go into the pregame warmups tonight, and then he will decide the lineup, but Stevens also said not to expect “wholesale changes.” Stevens said, in regards to the team’s response to Terry Murray’s firing, that tonight’s game would be “less about the Xs and Os and more about the guts of the game.”

Stevens and Jamie Kompon will be behind the bench but will have to shuffle duties a bit. Stevens will handle the forwards and Kompon will handle defensemen. More notes and quotes to come, including player reaction to Murray’s firing.
