Martin Havlat (undisclosed) is still questionable for Game 3 on Saturday.

Havlat skated for about an hour on Friday. "Getting better. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning," Havlat said. He didn't want to speculate any further about the possibility of him returning soon. Sharks coach Todd McLellan is looking forward to putting Havlat back into the lineup, but cautioned that it's "Marty, mother nature and the trainer's decision."

Martin Havlat (undisclosed) practiced with the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday but will not play in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Havlat has skated the past two days after being limited to off-ice work. The veteran winger hasn't played since getting hurt during Game 1 of San Jose's first-round sweep of Vancouver. Coach Todd McLellan said he's hopeful Havlat will return during the series against the Kings.

Martin Havlat skated on his own Monday but is unlikely to play in Game 1 or 2 of the San Jose Sharks' second-round series.

This is definite progress since Havlat hasn't even skated since he was hurt during Game 1 of the Sharks' four-game sweep of the Canucks. Still, while Havlat traveled with the Sharks to L.A., it appears unlikely he'll play before the series returns to San Jose.

Martin Havlat said his injury was not caused when Vancouver defenseman Kevin Bieksa hit him in the groin with his stick.

He hasn't skated since leaving Game 1 after just 3:16 of ice time. Havlat is able to ride a stationary bike, but his return to the ice is uncertain so he appears to be unlikely to play for the start of Round 2.

Consider Havlat questionable for tonight's Game 3.
