Norris (upper body) participated in Monday's morning skate and could return ahead of schedule, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Rotowire Mon, Oct 13, 2025 at 11:26 AM

Norris (upper body) will likely be sidelined for around eight weeks, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports Monday.

Scouting Report

The Michigan native has the kind of first-step quickness that can create separation from opposing checkers. Is a good playmaker who shoots well enough to keep opponents from dropping off of him. He put up good scoring numbers in college hockey and the AHL, and should become even more effective as his 6’2” frame fills out and his overall game matures.

Long Range Potential: Solid scoring center (when healthy).
