Justin Abdelkader (head) skated again Thursday. He has been symptom-free for the past two days and he appears to be close to getting back into the lineup. "Feel good so far, had a little bit of a bag skate, so that all went well," Abdelkader said. "Hopefully keep progressing, hopefully be able to play before the break, but we'll see."
