NHL: Lisin in die AHL, Reinprecht und Comrie auf dem Eis!

28.11.2006 von Coyote.

Es tut sich was im Roster der Coyoten. Enver Lisin wurde in die AHL zurück geschickt - er soll dort mehr Erfahrung sammeln als das in der NHL bislang möglich war. Hoffentlich gewöhnt sich Lisin in der AHL schnell ein und punktet dann auch fleissig.

Unterdessen standen mit Mike Comrie und Steve Reinprecht wieder auf dem Eis. Comrie dürfte wohl auch der Grund sein, warum Lisin in die AHL muss, immerhin *könnte* Comrie eventuell schon am Donenrstag wieder auf dem Eis stehen. Reinprecht wird wohl erst nach dem All-Star Game im Februar wieder dabei sein.

Ladislav Nagy dagegen wird am Donnerstag wieder spielen dürfen. Hoffentlich kam die Nachricht wirklich bei ihm an.

Comrie, Reinprecht back on ice

Centers Mike Comrie and Steven Reinprecht skated Monday for the first time since being injured in separate games earlier this season.

Comrie is rehabbing a fractured bone in his right foot, and Reinprecht is nursing a broken right clavicle.

The pair spent about 45 minutes skating and passing the puck on an adjacent sheet of ice while their healthy teammates practiced on another sheet at the Alltel Ice Den in Scottsdale.

Though not likely, Comrie might play Thursday vs. Los Angeles or Monday vs. Nashville.

“I’d like to play as soon as possible, but I have to be realistic, too,” said Comrie, who has four goals and seven assists in 13 games. “Having a screw put in (the foot), it’s a little sore. But it’s a pain that I can manage.”

Reinprecht (one goal, four assists, five games) said he probably wouldn’t play in a game for at least five more weeks.

“I don’t have any (return) dates circled,” Reinprecht said, adding that early to mid-January remains his target.

Unlike Comrie, Reinprecht did not shoot the puck Monday.

“We just have to be careful with him,” head athletic therapist Chris Broadhurst said. “What we don’t want is him to lose balance and fall into the boards, so he’s not doing anything aggressive.”

Nagy back in lineup
Coach Wayne Gretzky said left wing Ladislav Nagy would be back in the lineup on Thursday after a one-game benching last week.

“He has to be physically and mentally stronger, but it’s over and done with,” Gretzky said. “He’ll play Thursday and hopefully he has a great game.”

Asked Monday what he is taking away from being benched, Nagy smiled and said, “Next question.”

Lisin demoted
Rookie forward Enver Lisin was demoted to the team’s top affiliate in San Antonio after Monday’s practice.

Lisin wowed Gretzky and the staff with his speed and offensive skills in the first few games he played, but he gradually became a defensive liability.

Lisin was minus-18 in 17 games.

The Coyotes are hopeful Lisin, 20, does not approach them about returning to his native Russia to play.

Goalie update
Gretzky said goalie Curtis Joseph would start Thursday and probably Monday, too.

General Manager Mike Barnett said backup goalie David LeNeveu has handled his reduced playing time with class.

“David is an experienced pro,” Barnett said. “He’s dealt with the adversity admirably by working hard in practice and studying films. There’s an old saying: ‘Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.’

“David is still young. There’ll be better days ahead for him.”
