Practice has started at Ritter Arena, with Chuck Kobasew watching from the stands.

Kobasew is wearing a walking cast on his right leg. Kobasew said he got hit in the ankle by a Colorado shot in the second period. Kobasew finished the game and assisted on David Krejci's game-winning goal.

Milan Lucic is skating on the third line. Petteri Nokelainen, a healthy scratch last night, is on the fourth line.
