Nicklas Backstrom (concussion) isn't ready to resume skating. "We'll see when it's going to be time for me to hit the ice," Backstrom said. "Right now, I'm taking it day-by-day to see how I feel." For now, he'll continue to ride a stationary bike. He has skated for a total of five minutes over the last 36 days. Although he does feel like he's making progress, with less than two months remaining in the regular season, we wouldn't completely dismiss the possibility that he's played in his last contest for the 2011-12 campaign.
