Jeff Petry is expected to be back in Edmonton's lineup Thursday after he was hit in the face by a clearing attempt on Mar. 20. "The puck came off the glass and I couldn't get my hand up quickly enough," he said. "That play (keeping the puck in at the point) happens a thousand times and nothing happens. The puck clipped my visor, right below the eye. I wasn't sure if there were any fractures at the time. I'm fine now. I've still got all my teeth." Petry missed two games because his face was badly swollen.
