Dustin Penner is getting better, but there's still swelling in his injured hand. "Well, that's the trainers' call, I guess, on that one," coach Terry Murray said referring to Penner's status. "He's getting better. He's going to get better every day. There's swelling, and that needs to get taken care of, and then they will see where he's at after the swelling goes down. With the I.R., he's seven days for sure, and then we'll just make a decision after that." Penner is eligible to come off injured reserve on Saturday, but he isn't participating in contact at practice yet.
