DETROIT -- Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey has been through this before but he wasn't trying to push it.
Quincey had surgery on his left ankle last May to remove bone chips.
The first time he went on the ice was in July and by then that ankle was 100 percent.
But with the NHL season in full swing, Quincey has a greater sense of urgency.
Quincey underwent surgery on his right ankle on Nov. 14 and started skating on his own less than four weeks later, beginning last Thursday.
Quincey skated again before practice Sunday.
