Practice started around 11 a.m., and a handful of fans and media members watched from the stands as the players participated in a rather light session on the ice.
In addition to the usual names and faces, forward Matt Calvert took part (in a limited capacity) in practice. Calvert (lower body) was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 30 and was not given a timetable for a return. He said he felt good, but his next step is being cleared for contact.
In other Calvert news, the forward said he and his wife Courtney welcomed a son, Kasey Matthew, on Monday.
