"Kari Lehtonen, who has been out since injuring his groin Nov. 26, went through his second practice with the team Friday and said he is feeling good. Lehtonen will skate again Monday before the team heads to St. Louis and would have two practices to be ready to play Thursday against Columbus.

"Probably that St. Louis game comes a little bit fast for me," Lehtonen said of his potential return. "Probably after that.""
