Health Update:

Coach Maurice indicated following skate that Adam Lowry is “out tonight, day-to-day”.  Said they are “quite hopeful that this will be enough to get him back in feeling right on for Columbus.  When asked where the coach indicated it was an “upper.  He had it going into the Van game and it didn’t improve and started to deteriorate toward the end of the game, so we just got to jump on this early.  It shouldn’t be anything long term.”
