(Carrier played 2016-17 with Buffalo Sabres) start it at a young age. In the NHL as a player, you took your pregame nap to get ready for the game. Our sleep schedule is a lot different than most people’s so you get your rest when you get it. I know I feel a lot better when I have my pregame nap in the afternoon than when I (don’t).”

Status updates

Defenseman Nick Holden (injured reserve, lower-body) skated twice in the past few days but Gallant said there’s “no real timeline” for when he could return.

Forward Ryan Carpenter (IR, upper-body) hasn’t resumed skating, but Gallant said he didn’t think he would be out “too long term.”

Gallant said forward Brandon Pirri was scratched Saturday because he was “not feeling great.” Gallant added Pirri would “probably” be in the lineup Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes.
