Methot (undisclosed) participated in practice Wednesday, but remains a question mark heading into Thursday's game against the Oilers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot has been sidelined for six straight games because of the undisclosed issue, but he appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. Whether or not that return will come Thursday should be confirmed on gameday, so expect another update at that point.
