Tomas Vokoun participated in practice drills and took shots on Wednesday to test out what he referred to as a "pretty severe tear" of his groin muscle.
It was the first time he was able to do so with his teammates since he re-injured his groin back on Mar. 29. Unfortunately, a timetable for his return is unknown and he may not even be able to play again this year. "The explanation from the doctor to me was that it's like a concussion," Vokoun said. "Somebody heals in months, somebody else [sooner], it all depends on how your body is reacting so you can't predict. It's not like saying 'it's two weeks and you'll be fine.' It's when you feel good - that's when you're fine. That means you have to go through a full practice and do everything like in a game situation and I haven't done anything close to that."
