And we are live at the 'Plex, and we are 3 minutes into the scrimmage. So far Team White (the group that hasn't scrimmaged yet) has carried the bulk of play, as Nicklas Backstrom showed some strong puck-possession skills in the offensive zone, waiting out the defense and creating a scoring chance for Matt Pettinger. Olaf Kolzig is in net for the White team, and Cassivi returns to the crease for Team Blue.
Michael Nylander, who in an earlier drill deked someone to the ice, holds the puck with two White defenders on him, then delivers a one-time opportunity to Erskine. Kolzig steers it wide. Later in the play, Nicklas Backstrom takes up the puck on the half boards and delivers to a cutting Pettinger, who can't handle the puck.
