Alex Kangas update

There's not much of one yet, and we're not sure if that's good or bad news. This afternoon's X-ray didn't show anything, so he's going to have an MRI sometime over the next two days.

Tyler Sims is backing up Nick Boucher tonight and will be at practice the rest of the week, but the Komets are also working on signing another full-time goaltender. Tyler has not played competitively since training camp.
