days three
Three days off is a lot, it was enough.
five smarter three

again gone good ordeal playing plays quite tough whether
Obviously, it's good to see him. It's been quite an ordeal he's gone through in a really up-and-down season. He's gone from being called up to potentially not playing again this year. It's been tough on him. He's still a big part of this team, whether he plays or not.

He's skating like he's 36 again.
