There were some updates earlier in the week. He practiced with the team before they left for Minnesota and Hartley says he is making good progress or something along those lines. A return next week seems realistic.
Miikka Kiprusoff is close. Brian McGrattan is closer.
Both veterans participated in a full practice Saturday morning with the Calgary Flames at WinSport’s Ice Complex.
For Kiprusoff, it marked his first team session since injuring his knee Feb. 5 at Detroit.
Quote:
“He’s feeling good,” said Hartley. “The doctors are here and they’re feeling good about him. The news is very positive. Whenever you see a goalie on the ice with his team, I think it’s always a good sign.”
Quote:
Kiprusoff added that his knee was not hurt on a collision with Detroit winger Johan Franzen.
“You guys have the wrong play — (the injury) happened before that,” he said. “It was one play — I kicked my leg out (making a save).”
