As I hinted to last night, forward Peter-James Corsi will be coming off the injured reserve this weekend to play his first regular season games for the Bucks.
Coach Ruskowski placed Corsi on the IR after he suffered an injury during training camp, saying he didn't want the forward to have any excuses to not play his best game.
Now that he seems to be healed up and his 14-day IR stint can end on Friday, he'll get a chance to show Ruskowski what he's got.
“I have to see what he can do,” Ruskowski said. “I think his injury is better now and that he’s ready to play. He’s worked hard the past couple days, and he’s going to continue to work hard. He’ll have a chance to play, and we’ll see what we can do.”
As I mentioned on Monday, Corsi has been skating with a solid line this week in practice, and he has been working out with the team on the ice, though sometimes in a minimal capacity, during his IR stay.
With Corsi off the IR, the team's active roster will be back up to 19 players, which is something Ruskowski says he doesn't think he can afford with the salary cap. He did also say, "We'll see what happens," but this could mean that someone else is going home unless another injury pops up by Friday.
