David Schlemko (upper body) partook in contact drills for the first time since being injured four weeks ago on Monday. Schlemko has two assists in nine games this season as the defensive defenseman was injured when he crashed into the Wild's Matt Cullen on Feb. 5 after which his arm was seen in a sling. "Hopefully he's not too far away," coach Dave Tippett said.
