Joey MacDonald (herniated disc) is expected to get clearance to play hockey this week.
MacDonald has been out of action since last March and could find himself as a backup for Jimmy Howard while Jonas Gustavsson continues to be out with a groin injury. MacDonald could be ready to go as early as this weekend and Howard could use a break as he has started all eight games.
