Tomas Kaberle (upper body) is hopeful that he will be back before the end of the season. "I hope I'll be able to play. We'll have to see how it goes over the next couple of days and I still have to talk to the doctors, but we'll see again on Wednesday morning," he said. "I would have liked to play over the weekend, but sometimes plans like that just don't work out. It was the coaches and the doctors' decision. I haven't been cleared to play in a game yet, but at least I'm cleared to practice." Kaberle has missed the past nine contests with an upper-body injury.
