Forward Wyatt Johnston didn't participate in Wednesday's practice in Southern California. He was given the day off.
DeBoer was asked about Johnston's status following the on-ice session.
"He missed camp with an injury, so we’re just being smart. He played [against Vegas], so he’ll be off today," said DeBoer. "I presume he’ll play [against Anaheim], but you never know with things."
Goaltender Jake Oettinger has been outstanding through two starts.
He has compiled a 1.38 goals-against average and a .948 save percentage.
