Kris Versteeg (lower body) skated again on Wednesday and was able to take part in drills with his teammates for the first time. He still isn't expected to play on Thursday, but he is encouraged with his progress. "It's day by day. I'm starting to feel better and better," Versteeg said. "You sit out so long and get so antsy to get back in." He might be available for Saturday's home contest against Buffalo.
