Forward Valtteri Filppula left today's scrimmage after being checked into the boards by Aaron Downey. Filppula jammed his thumb on the play and he skipped the final half of the scrimmage. Filppula, however, said that the injury is slight and he shouldn't miss time.

"I'm pretty sure I'll be back (on the ice) tomorrow," said Filppula. "It's not bad."
