‘Pilut arrived as practice was ending so Casey Mittelstadt filled in with Rasmus Ristolainen on defense. That usually means that Mittelstadt isn’t playing on Monday. Housley said he just wants to give the kid a chance to exhale and relax, “Sometimes in a player’s development it’s not a bad thing to take a step back. We give up way too much and it’s not what you make, it’s what you leave on the table and right now we’re leaving way too much and in Casey’s defense, it might be a good thing to take a deep breath, he’s played a lot of hockey, so we’ll make that decision tomorrow.”’
