The usual Tuesday duo is reduced to a solo act as Ryan hosts Short Shifts all by his lonesome this week. You'll hear about the long-awaited return of Josh Norris to the Buffalo Sabres lineup, and what this might mean for a burgeoning Sabres team that looks to climb the standings, a sleepover you wish you were invited to with standout performances from Tyler Toffoli, Mack Celebrini and Will Smith, returns from Valeri Nichushkin, Viktor Arvidsson and Carter Hart, and unexpected absences from Carter Verhaeghe and Tyler Seguin. The NYR powerplay tries to get along without Adam Fox, while Brandt Clarke, Max Shabanov and Jordan Staal (???) get increased opportunities on their respective units. We finish off by Harvesting The Fruits of Yesterweek (checking in on Easton Cowan, Jared McCann, Andre Burakovsky and Vlad Namestnikov) and ranking ZeroG goalies (Ville Husso, Devin Cooley, Casey DeSmith, Carter Hart, and Kevin Lankinen) that may be available in your league. All this and more on this solo edition of Short Shifts!
