"Alex Burrows had his first morning skate with the club on Friday, but is still not ready – or able – to return to the lineup. He's on LTIR, which means he must miss 10 games. That would mean a likely return on Nov. 2 in Edmonton.

"It's good to be out with the guys," said Burrows, who led the team with 35 goals last season but had major shoulder surgery in the off-season. "I've worked hard in the gym and out on the ice the last few weeks. The cardio is up there for sure, but it's a matter of getting back into game speed and making plays.""
