Fiset Practices, May Play Tonight
Goalie Stephane Fiset, who has sat out the last two games because of an abdominal injury, practiced Friday and might play tonight against his former team, the Colorado Avalanche.
“It felt pretty good. . . . I actually felt very good on the ice,” said Fiset, who has not played since losing, 2-0, at Calgary on Thanksgiving. “I did not have any pain on the ice.”
