David Quinn on the important of scrimmages
“My idea right now is to scrimmage a lot,” Quinn said back in June. “The more we get guys going in game situations under these circumstances the more prepared we are going to be for those games that get started for the playoffs.”

- Artemi Panarin looks as lethal as ever
