Cullen (upper body) returned to practice Friday, Eric Stromgren of The Tennessean reports. The 38-year-old has been out for nearly two weeks with the injury, but the return to practice suggests he might be nearing an activation. With the Predators returning Miikka Salomaki to the AHL on Friday, it would seem that one of three injured forwards -- Cullen, James Neal (lower body), or Taylor Beck (concussion) -- is primed to return for Saturday's game against the Wild.
