#Isles injury updates: Barzal is progressing very well but hasn't skated yet. Will travel with the team and is expected to get on the ice Wednesday. DeAngelo maintenance. As mentioned, Schaefer and Schenn skated today -- all three are traveling, no concern there.

A week into #Isles training camp, some questions have been answered. Others haven’t. What we’ve learned so far about Victor Eklund, Cal Ritchie, Matthew Schaefer, the defense battle, Barzal’s absence, and more @TheElmonters ⤵️ https://t.co/M59lRJMIAH

#Isles PP1: Schaefer-Maccelli-Schenn-Horvat-Palmieri

Eklund. Eiserman. Aitcheson. George. Ritchie. And more. For once, Matthew Schaefer isn’t carrying the conversation about the #Isles’ future by himself. Why that may be the biggest takeaway from training camp so far @TheElmonters ⤵️ https://t.co/7gekxubKPM
