Center Nick Bjugstad was out for a few games with bruised ribs. I think he missed 4-5 games total. He was day to day so I didn't move him to the injury list. I guess I should have, didn't realize bruised ribs were going to be a two week thing.
On December 31, 2019, I activated Jacob Trouba from the Injury list and sent our new friend Eric Jeremiah down to the ECHL.
It was a pretty boring month, including the team's play. VERY boring. JVR continued to stay among the leaders in goals (25) and continuing his surprising play, goaltender Eric Comrie stayed in the leaders for save percentage (.924)
We did end up the month on a 4 game winning streak, so can't really complain there, ending up 2019 with a 21-16-6 record, giving us a 7-5-2 month of December. Pretty happy with that record considering we had 10 road games and only 4 home games.. I'm surprised we are able to stay over .500, bit I gotta give props to Laviolette. Great last minute pickup for us, I think. We're just 2 points out of a playoff spot right now, so we need to pick it up in the new year.
Also, January is when I start resigning players, so there should be a lot of action tomorrow with signings going on.
