Chris Pronger isn't certain he will be able to return to the lineup on Wednesday night from an eye injury.
"I didn't feel too hot [Monday], so we'll see how I feel after a pretty good skate," Pronger said. "Sometimes, while I feel like I'm 25, when you're laying in your decrepit bed for 4 or 5 days, you get a little tight and stiff. You don't realize how quickly you can lose it when you've done nothing for 7 days and you're bedridden for 4 of them - the joints need to be moving." He has skated at practice for the past two days after missing the last six games. Stay tuned for updates.
