Injured Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz, who
has been out since a gruesome leg injury on Oct. 13 in Montreal,
returned to the ice on Saturday morning.
On Friday, Sullivan said that Schultz was close to returning
to the ice, and after a 4-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday
night – the Penguins 8th straight win — Schultz was skating on
Saturday morning.
The 28-year-old Schultz skated around the rink for
about half an hour before heading back to the Penguins locker room.
Schultz, who has four assists in just
four games this season, is expected to be back in the lineup sometime
in February. He has 45 goals, 146 assists and is a minus-21 in 411 career NHL
games, the first 248 of which were with a dreadful Edmonton Oilers team.
