"Daymond Langkow will talk to the media Wednesday for the first time since suffering a neck injury March 21.

The Flames centre hasn't resumed skating, but caught up with all his teammates for Tuesday's practice at the Westside Recreation Centre. The club was gone for several days for a three-game road trip.

Langkow wasn't wearing the neck brace he required to return to Calgary after falling head first on the ice while being hit on the back of the neck with a puck.

"It's nice to see him moving around, feeling good and upbeat," said captain Jarome Iginla. "It's a boost for the guys and great to see. That's more important than hockey."

Langkow was injured in the second period of the club's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild, a victim of a strange set of circumstances."
