Alex Petrovic looked to impress from the get-go entering Day 1 of Training Camp. After all, he’s here on a PTO with no guarantees of making the club.
What the former Panthers and Oilers defenseman didn’t envision was a collision with the coach he hopes to persuade.
Toward the end of the first session, Petrovic lost an edge during a drill and took Bruce Cassidy down with him. Luckily, Petrovic got right back up and finished the drill.
Cassidy got up slowly as he absorbed the blow to his surgically repaired knee. But he wasn’t out for long.
