Troy Brouwer, who had off-season shoulder surgery, was cleared for contact on Saturday. "I've been on pace all summer to be ready for the start of the season and nothing's changed as of now," Brouwer said. "For me, [the goal] has always been the start of the season. I don't want to miss any games. It's an important season for this hockey club and I want to be a part of it all of the way." We'll keep an eye on him, but right now, it looks like he'll be fine for the start of the regular season.
