Watching a bit of the Florida game and their 3rd jerseys are fugly It's like they Frankensteined the Pittsburgh and the STL's 3rds

TSN's Ice Chips

Only two weeks after suffering a broken jaw, winger Teemu Selanne has rejoined the team in Tampa and practiced with the team on Friday. - LA Daily News

Nik Antropov attended but did not participate in the team's practice Friday. In his absence, Slava Kozlov practiced on a line with Ilya Kovlachuk and Bryan Little. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

For a few brief minutes during Friday's morning skate at HSBC Arena, it looked as if Marco Sturm might make a surprise return as he took the first-line rush with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi, but he soon gave way to Daniel Paille. Afterward, Sturm said he's close to returning but he's not quite there yet. - Boston Herald

The Stars' front office did not file paperwork in time to take Jere Lehtinen off injured reserve, so he was not eligible to play on Friday. Lehtinen had missed five games with a neck injury and was expected to return against Colorado. He will be eligible to play Sunday against Phoenix. - Dallas Morning News

According to head coach Pat Quinn, defenceman Sheldon Souray suffered a fractured hand in Saturday's loss to Calgary. - TSN

Head coach Peter DeBoer spoke at length with injured winger David Booth on the ice at Friday's morning skate and said he is progressing from a concussion sustained Oct. 24. Without going into specifics, DeBoer said Booth should be playing in the near future. Booth could be back as early as Sunday against the Islanders, but most likely his return will be next Friday. - Miami Herald

Forward Mike Cammalleri will have an MRI on Monday morning. He was checked awkwardly into the boards in Saturday's game and his right leg was pinned beneath him. He needed assistance to get off the ice and did not put any weight on his right leg. - TSN

Forward Nick Foligno was injured blocking a shot off his lower body in the third period of Saturday's game and had to be helped to the dressing room. He did not return to the game. He has a broken leg and will be out for 6-to-8 weeks. - TSN

Winger Chris Kunitz skated for the first time Thursday since having abdominal surgery. He isn't expected back in the lineup for 1-2 weeks, which means he might not return until after the Olympic break. - Tribune Review

Head coach Ron Wilson said Mike Komisarek will miss four or five more games. - TSN

Defenceman Lukas Krajicek was placed on waivers on Friday. - TSN
