Sabres' forward Jordan Greenway returned to practice on Thursday morning after missing Tuesday night's loss to the Nashville Predators with an upper-body injury.
Greenway rotated into the team's line rushes. Sabres coach Don Granato said he's not ready to return to the lineup yet but is getting close.
"It's a challenging situation to play (with an injury)," Granato said. "Nobody plays full-go but to get done what he needs to, he was out there and that was a good sign. But I think he still has a little bit to go."
Greenway, who was acquired from the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline, said injuries are part of the game but no less frustrating, particularly when you're trying to acclimate yourself to a new organization.
