Rick Sadowski: Mikko Rantanen practicing in a light contact jersey was encouraging on Monday. However, he expects to also fully practice on Wednesday. This means a Game 1 return on Thursday is looking more and more likely. Mikko Rantanen missed eight games with an upper-body injury.
Anton Stralman may practice on Tuesday
Bryan Burns: Stralman battling an undisclosed injury could practice on Tuesday but Jon Cooper is still unsure if the defenseman can play. List him as questionable for now until there is more information.
