Hamonic (lower body) is closing in on a return, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. Head coach Bruce Boudreau is hopeful Hamonic will be back playing "within a week."

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic hasn't played since Dec. 8 against Boston, a span of 19 games and counting. If he's able to get back into game action within a week as hoped, Feb. 17 in San Jose seems like a reasonable targeted return date.
