Craig Anderson (neck) was back on the ice Wednesday, but there's no timetable in place for when he'll be able to return to the lineup. "It's positive that he was out there [Wednesday]," said coach Paul MacLean. "He still has some stiffness, so he's still day-to-day. We'll take it as that for now, but it's positive that he had the equipment on and was on the ice." Anderson stated that he felt better than he expected to and he's relieved that the play didn't end up worse for him. Dallas forward Valeri Nichushkin crashed into Anderson last Sunday and the Ottawa goalie was taken off the ice on a stretcher as a precaution.
