Hi from the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex again, where development camp is in its third day. I'll have live updates below, to be read from the bottom up.
► FOLLOW ALONG
• Jeff Carter is here in the locker room.
• Just a heads up on how things are going today: They have most guys on the secondary rink running drills, really nothing exciting. If you watch the video below, that's about the extent of it. Then they're pulling four guys at a time over to the main rink for skating instruction -- again, nothing that exciting, nothing that showcases pure speed or anything like that.
• Random fun fact: Development coach Sheldon Brookbank has punched several of his coworkers in the face before. He fought Rich Clune a couple times, Trevor Daley couple times, Tom Kostopoulos once when they were playing.
• Here's Mikhail Ilyin running drills:
• Mikhail Ilyin is on the ice for the first time this camp. He's in the group more focused on skating right now.
• Rich Clune and Jason Spezza will meet with the media later.
• Today's schedule: Team Johnston skating/skills at 10 a.m., Team Stevens at 11:45 a.m., and Team Patrick at 1:30 p.m.
