Audio:

Coach Maurice:  Laurent Brossoit in net?  Any changes among the skaters?  Vegas with Mark Stone.  Any updates on Byfuglien/Morrissey?  Mark Scheifele thought’s on the Jets effort last night.  Any sense that Patrik Laine is getting frustrated without scoring?  How did he like Joe Morrow’s game last night?
