Karl Alzner may decide to play without a visor this season after not wearing one during his off-season training sessions. "I'm going to skate like this for now, see how it is," he said. "Of course I'm a little nervous about sticks in the face, pucks in the face, but I'm going to see how it is in practice, maybe an exhibition game." This is the first time he has skated without a visor and he likes the improved vision, but safety could be enough of a concern for him to switch back.
