Notes from The Athletic today:

Notes on Trenin changing his diet to lose weight and improving his skating:

Quote

Trenin also worked with a power skating coach to get faster, and it’s been noticeable in camp how much quicker the Russian winger is moving. He showed it off in Sunday’s exhibition overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, scoring two goals, including the winner.

“I wanted to drop a certain amount, and I came back to camp, and I see Marco (Rossi) looks so big to me,” Trenin said, laughing. “I’m like, I’ve got to stop somewhere.”

Notes from Hynes on Ohgren:

Quote

“His speed is a factor, he’s tenacious on pucks and he’s got a great shot,” Hynes said. “He’s a little bit more mature — a little bit more comfortable. He’s in fantastic shape. He has a better idea of how we want to do things. And he’s playing with that tenacity and the mindset that he wants to come in and earn a job.

Notes on Jiricek from Russo and Joe Smith:

Quote

Jiricek focused on his skating, especially his pivoting and one-on-one battles, showing up in early August to spend time with the Wild’s skating and strength and conditioning staff. There seems to be an opportunity for Jiricek to make the team out of camp as the third-pair or extra defenseman, and that’s been his goal.
