Late practice today (started at 3 p.m.) with the team flying out to Buffalo right after the skate.
-- Dan Cleary is on the ice (with big protection for his broken jaw). It's the first time that Cleary has skated since the injury in Toronto. On Thursday, Cleary said that he hoped to be back on the ice, Monday or Sunday, so he's ahead of that schedule.
-- Brian Rafalski (groin) is taking part in the drills. Chris Chelios (chipped bone) wasn't on the ice at all for the first time this week.
-- Jonathan Ericsson is still with the team.
-- The lines are the same as they were at Friday's loss to San Jose.
