The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Braydon Coburn (ruptured artery/left buttock) skated and reported feeling sore. “He’s close to a return, possibly this weekend,” Stevens said. Scottie Upshall (sprained right ankle) also may be available this weekend. Simon Gagne (concussion) continues to report that he does not feel quite right. . . . Yesterday, Peter Forsberg’s agent, Don Baizley, was in Vancouver, where the Canucks faced the Minnesota Wild. Craig Leipold, the former Nashville owner, bought the Wild last month, and Forsberg likes Leipold.
