On Sutter’ status and Hamonic’s vaccination status
Brandon Sutter is still recovering from the long-term effects of COVID-19 and Benning provided an update on him.
“He’s feeling better,” said Benning. “He’s what they call COVID long hauler. I talked to him last week, he’s feeling better and better all the time.”
However, he isn’t close to returning.
“He’s nowhere close to working out and getting back on the ice,” said Benning.
Benning also was asked about Travis Hamonic’s vaccination status. Hamonic recently got his second dose which means he is unlikely going to be on the upcoming road trip.
Benning says the confusion to open training camp regarding Travis Hamonic was the result of Hamonic deciding to get his first dose back in September, heading to the pharmacy, and being unable to actually go through with it.

Benning says Hamonic recently received his 2nd shot.
