“Just had a nagging thing kind of pop up that I’ve dealt with before,” Johnson said after practice Thursday. “(If it was) regular season, I’m playing, but we just wanted to be smart about it and not have it linger into the season. And honestly, I really think you get a lot out of practice here the way we practice, so I’m not concerned at all. I’m ready to get to the real games.”
### Savoie likely to take morning skate
Granato said he expects forward Matt Savoie, the club’s No. 1 pick in 2022, to return to the ice for the morning skate Friday. Savoie has been sidelined with shoulder and elbow injuries suffered in the first minute of the third Prospects Challenge game on Sept. 18 in LECOM Harborcenter and has missed all of camp.
“Still recovering from the injury, but he’ll be able to practice with us to better gauge where he’s at,” Granato said. “Obviously, he’s got to get back to pace and conditioning because he’s been out as long as he has.”
