Defenseman Niklas Kronwall participated in the entire morning skate, today, at the Xcel Energy Center. That's another step forward for Kronwall, who skated for the first time one day before since injuring his shoulder last week.
But his return will not come this week.
"Every time you interview Kronner, he's going to tell you how good he feels," said coach Mike Babcock. "This is going to be longer than he thinks. We'd like him back tomorrow, but it's probably not likely. Get freshened up. Get ready to go."
