Coach Alain Vigneault indicated Monday that Nash's (knee) status is now day-to-day rather than week-to-week, and Nash hasn't ruled out a return Saturday against the Red Wings, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nash reportedly skated with a non-contact jersey at practice Monday, his first with his teammates since suffering the injury Jan. 22 against the Hurricanes. He'll need to shed that non-contact status during the week if there's to be any chance of him playing Saturday. He appears more of a long shot than teammate Henrik Lundqvist (neck), who expects to return for the tilt with the Red Wings, but look for further updates on Nash as he closes in on a return.
