Elias is dealing with back spasms and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt with the Coyotes, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports. Elias, who apparently left Friday's practice early because of the injury, received some treatment Saturday morning. The winger noted that while he felt "the same as [Friday]" after arriving for treatment, he'll wait until the afternoon to see if he notices any improvement with his condition. Michael Ryder or Martin Havlat would suit up in Elias' place if he can't play.
