Anton Volchenkov felt "pretty good" after taking part in Saturday's practice. Volchenkov didn't participate in Thursday's skate after absorbing a big hit in Game 5 on Tuesday. "It was a good hit. It was a clean hit too," Volchenkov said. "I didn't really see him, but it's not really a dirty hit. He hit me right in the chest. I just lost my breath and had to take a little time. And after I went back I felt great." Volchenkov said he's ready for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
