What happened: Seth Jarvis removed his yellow no-contact jersey Thursday, marking a significant milestone in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. The forward noted the development is the biggest step he has taken so far.

Why it matters: Jarvis had been skating without contact since the start of training camp following a summer procedure. He played through the issue during the playoffs, a period where Jarvis leaned into a candy fixation amid a Stanley Cup run.

What to watch: Jarvis will now focus on getting comfortable with physical contact before returning to full game action.
