Craig Anderson skated beforehand, holding complete hockey stick.
Great news on Anderson, who was unable to grip a stick earlier last week. He should be able to return before the end of the regular season at this pace.

Del Zotto not participating in morning skate.
Del Zotto clearly won't play tonight as he rests his sore hip. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
Michael Del Zotto missed last night's game with a re-aggravation of his hip injury.
Sounds like Del Zotto is definitely questionable for tomorrow's game. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
Craig Anderson skated before practice, taking shots holding the knob of a goal stick.

Craig Anderson on the ice with a blocker on. #Sens
Anderson still hasn't been able to grip a stick so perhaps we are seeing some progress. Furthermore, the starting goalie certainly needs to keep his conditioning up.
No Dan Girardi or Michael Del Zotto at Rangers practice.
Del Zotto still isn't 100 percent and will rest up as he tries to get there. He has seven goals and 33 points in 62 games.

Hamonic back. #Isles give up a PPG for 9th time in last 13 games; Rolston gets assist on Lucic's goal, 1-0 Bruins.
Hamonic is able to grit through the pain.
Travis Hamonic to room. Boychuk slapper off foot.
Hamonic is clearly ailing from the big blast. We should have a further update on the young d-man shortly.
#NYR Ryan Callahan and Michael Del Zotto are out.
Del Zotto was injured last night and therefore is unable to play tonight. He has seven goals and 33 points in 62 games.
Craig Anderson spoke with the media today for the 1st time since the incident. Says he still isn't sure when he will play again....
Anderson remains out indefinitely with his untimely finger injury. Expect Robin Lehner, and possibly Ben Bishop, to man the pipes for the time being.
Murray says Anderson cut a tendon in his small finger and could be back on the ice as soon as a few days. As soon as he can hold a stick. But no timetable for a return to game action
Good news for the Sens although he still carries the out indefinitely label. Check back for a further update on the Sens starting goalie.

Can confirm report by @Realkyper that Craig Anderson has suffered a hand injury.
Sounds like Anderson will at least miss this weekend's festivities. Stay tuned for a further update on the Sens starting goalie.

Perron will play with McDonald-Berglund
Perron slides down to the very familiar second line. The 23-year-old has been on an absolute tear as of late, scoring seven goals in his last eight games.
Line Change
Apparently no injuries to Voracek or Giroux per Holmgren.
Giroux abruptly left practice leading to speculation that he might be hurt. The superstar center has 22 goals and 68 points in 54 games. Wellwood filling in likely means this absence is maintenance related.

When Giroux left mid-practice, they had Eric Wellwood change jerseys and fill in as C on his line.
