Josh Harding put his pads on and took to the ice again Thursday morning. He faced some shots and did puck-handling drills with goalie coach Bob Mason after skating for the first time on Tuesday. "It's a great sign that he's feeling much better, and he's focused and motivated to try to get back with us," coach Mike Yeo said. "With that said, we're still a few steps away. It's not like he's a week away from rejoining us here, but it's a good first step." It's unclear when he'll be able to return.
