Hamonic (foot) skated before practice Monday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic reportedly skated before practice Monday for just the second time since fracturing his foot in early January. While he took a step in the right direction by skating, the defenseman is just about a week into his 2-to-3 week timetable. He'll need to rejoin practice before joining his teammates on the ice sheet, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's out through the All-Star break. Hamonic was also the center of some trade talks prior to the injury, but it's unclear if that will be the case when he returns.
