Kurt Dusterberg: Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov returned to practice yesterday and could return to the lineup on Thursday. He’s missed their past three games with an upper-body injury.
“We’ll find out,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said when asked if Svechnikov could play Thursday. “We’ve got a couple more days. We’ll see where he’s at.
“Obviously if he doesn’t practice with us, that will be an indicator that he probably won’t. But he tried it a little this morning, so he’s getting better.”
Colleen Flynn: Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog was on the ice for the Avs entire practice yesterday. He participated in some of the drills. That was the first time that had happened.
Meghan Angley: Landeskog will travel with the team on their road and continue to skate with them.
