Ward (shoulder) took part in Friday's training camp session, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ward appears to be ready for the upcoming season after having his shoulder surgically repaired in the offseason -- an ailment that plagued him throughout the 2016-17 campaign. With the winger healthy, he could be tasked with an increased role following the departure of Patrick Marleau. The 36-year-old failed to break the 30-point barrier for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 season last year, which fantasy owners will be hoping was an outlier -- not Ward's new normal.
