Semin (foot) returned to practice Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore foot sidelined Semin during Monday's session, but the injury was never viewed as serious. Semin's return to the ice Tuesday illustrates as much, and now the winger will look to secure a prominent role in the Habs' attack during training camp. He's been deployed on the second line with Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk during early practices, an arrangement that could allow Semin to reemerge as a 20-goal scorer following a dismal campaign in Carolina.
