Toni Lydman might be available to return from a shoulder injury as early as Friday night's home opener against San Jose. He was recently cleared for contact after missing all of training camp and the start of the season following surgery in May to repair a torn labrum. "Things are moving along," said Lydman. "The mobility is getting better. Strength-wise, there's still a little work to do. It's getting real close. [The] strength and range of motion both ideally like them to be at 100 percent. I'm really close." We'll keep you posted.
