Curious, figure not but were the boys in any hometown remix gear?

Martinook and Jarvis alternated in the middle, so may just be a righty-lefty thing depending on the faceoff dot.

Jokingly asked Kochetkov is he asked for a percentage of Nikishin’s deal, since Nikishin switched to Kochetkov’s agent. “I asked.”

Kochetkov on Nikishin signing: “What I can say about this situation is he's my friend, right? I'm very happy he’s back, and this is probably good for everybody, for (the) team for sure, for him I hope too.”

Aho on Nikishin: “We all understand that part. And yeah, it's hockey, but it's also business. And obviously we understand it probably wasn't the easiest negotiations, by any means, to say the least. But from our perspective, we're just happy to have him back and hopefully see him here tomorrow.”

Brind’Amour said he expects Jankowski to skate with the team tomorrow morning. Said Hall skating today was “a good sign” but was unsure if he’ll play tomorrow.

Brind’Amour on the business of hockey and getting Nikishin back in the room: “These guys, they hire agents to kind of tell them what to do, and sometimes it's good advice, sometimes not so good advice. But at the end of the day, it doesn't affect us when we get the guys in the locker room and we're all together, and those guys (agents) are out of it.”

Brind’Amour doesn’t yet know when Nikishin will join the team. Said he will need a “mini training camp” to get up to speed.

Deslauriers is wearing black and skating with Reilly. That could indicate Hall — who is in a regular jersey — could be ready to go.

Mark Jankowski just came down the stairs here at the arena in street clothes before practice. No brace or anything like that. Told us he skated earlier today too, so perhaps a good sign.
