Casey Cizikas is making steps toward returning to game action as the veteran center was a full participant on Wednesday, after spending Sunday and Monday’s skates in a non-contact jersey.
Cizikas (LTIR, lower-body) missed 10 games after he sustained an injury in the game against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 9. Head Coach Patrick Roy said Cizikas is a game-time decision against Thursday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"We'll see after warmups but I thought he looked good today," Roy said of Cizikas. "It'll be a game-time decision in his case."
He has 11 points (5G, 6A) through 39 games this year.
Hudson Fasching (day to day, lower-body) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed two games after he suffered an injury in Montreal on Jan. 25.
