Loui Eriksson (concussion) has been given the green light to participate in contact drills. Eriksson remains doubtful for Thursday's game, but this is still a huge step forward. He hasn't played since he sustained his second concussion of the season on Dec. 7. He has five goals and 14 points in 24 games in 2013-14.
