Jason Duda, on 14-day IR with a sore back, will have an injection on Friday. Duda visited a back specialist today. “We’ll have to wait and see how he reacts to it,” coach Brent Bilodeau said. “It helped last year at one point, and at another point it didn’t. Hopefully, he reacts well to it this time and he’s back on the ice next week.”
Bruce may play: The Thunder is still awaiting immigration approval for Kyle Bruce. If it comes through in time, he will likely play Friday at Colorado. He has been practicing with the team. “Kyle Bruce is Kyle Bruce,” Bilodeau said. “People have seen him play, and they know he adds some grit and plays hard. He’s gonna give 100 percent every night.” Brandon Kaleniecki may play Friday too.
Thanks to someone: The painfully bad “who has the worst piece of furniture” promotion was skipped at Friday’s game. Apparently, it was just a mistake. But I like to think someone in the Thunder office sabotaged the promotion. Just for me.
