Andrei Markov (knee) is on the ice for practice Tuesday and has been cleared for contact. This is a big step for Markov who has yet to play this season. He wasn't expected to return in November but with only a week remaining in the month, he could return in early December. The Habs could really use him to quarterback their power play. If, for some reason he is available in your pool, pick him up quickly as he is a top-ten offensive defenseman when healthy.
