We hope to have them in practice on Tuesday,\u201d Warsofsky said. \u201cWe\u2019re rolling 12 forwards. It\u2019s been a challenge to get through it, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n We miss Skinner on the power play and creating some offense. Misa is continuing to develop as a young center. It was another option. There\u2019s still a lot of hockey before then, so we\u2019re gonna get through that.\u201d<\/p>\n Warsofksy was asked whether there is a plan to send Misa to the San Jose Barracuda for a conditioning assignment.<\/p>\n Advertisement.
