Monday Practice Notes

From Ristuccia Arena
-After his teammates concluded their practice, Andrew Alberts went on the ice for approximately 15 minutes of work with assistant coach Doug Houda. Alberts said his neck is feeling better and he's scheduled to be re-evaluated on Wednesday to determine whether he can ramp up his workouts. Alberts will not be on the three-game trip.

-Petteri Nokelainen sat out practice because of flu-like symptoms. Nokelainen will travel with the team.

-Peter Schaefer (shin) practiced on the fourth line today and will travel to Raleigh. Schaefer didn't think he'd be ready to play in any of the games. Schaefer still has the stitches in his shin.

-Peter Chiarelli is currently in Naples, Fla., for the first day of the GM meetings. Claude Julien said he hasn't addressed his players about the impending trade deadline, which is 3 p.m. next Tuesday. "It's the reality of the game," Julien said of trade talks. "I know this is a time where players worry more than ever. But it could happen at any time of the year. We know there's probably going to be some action going on here in the next week."

Here's the practice lines...
