Frolik (upper body) returned to practice Saturday, and has been cleared for contact, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frolik actually wore a yellow non-contact jersey during Saturday's practice, which apparently was just a precautionary measure to ensure his teammates knew not to hit him "too hard." Although the former first-round pick has already been ruled out of Monday's game against the Sharks, he's reportedly close to returning to action, perhaps as soon as Wednesday against the Panthers. Expect an update on Frolik's status following Monday's matchup with San Jose.
