"Senators fans could catch another glimpse of Pascal Leclaire this season.

While a player returning from an injury wouldn't normally be a big deal, coach Cory Clouston confirmed the Senators' top goaltender could rejoin the club for practice next week.

Leclaire, 28, who hasn't played since he pulled up lame in the warmup Dec. 17 in Colorado, faced shots Thursday before practice.

Clouston is convinced Leclaire will return to the lineup this season."
