Zach Redmond returned to the ice Friday six weeks after suffering a life-threating cut to the leg. Redmond skated for the first time after suffering a lacerated femoral artery during a practice in late February. "Just seeing him definitely took your mind off of what was going on, first and foremost," Andrew Ladd said. "To see him back and doing so well is awesome for everyone in this room. It took our mind away from things going on, and all the negativity, and you just focus on how well he's doing and having him around again."
