Budenholzer hasn’t announced a timeline for when either player could appear in a game. He says getting them at least a couple of five-on-five practice sessions and some three-on-three work will be important for their conditioning and developing a rhythm.
Budenholzer says it’s a big hurdle to overcome when everybody else has already put in 10 to 14 days of work.
