- Defenseman Haydn Fleury was stretchered off following a hard hit, transported to hospital, and the team reported movement in all extremities.
- GM Kevin Cheveldayoff acknowledged the free fall and said management is exploring a trade or AHL call-ups, noting prior traded draft picks have reduced flexibility.
