According to agent Allan Walsh, Tomas Vokoun (blood clot) is slated to begin light workouts next week.
"He is emphatic in saying that he fully intends on coming back and has not contemplated ending his career," said Walsh, who was refuting a report out of the Czech Republic that the injury may cause him to retire. Vokoun underwent a procedure to dissolve a blood clot in his pelvis a week ago and there's not timetable in place for his return. "We don't really have anything else on him," coach Dan Bylsma said. "We're still in the time period where we're evaluating from his surgeries and some of the tests and what he's going through right now." Jeff Zatkoff is expected to start the season as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup.
