While there is a remote possibility that he may be potentially available in the final game 1 of the Western Conference against Dallas Stars on Wednesday, it seems at least that he can play at some point in the series.
“I saw him yesterday and I saw him today, I think it’s going well,” Nobeluch told reporters“I think their mobility is very good at seeing how much time he had and what kind of injury he had, so I think we are closed for a good start.”
Ekom admitted on Monday that he was initially believed to remember the entire Postsen.

Although the details of his injury have not been made public, it seems that whatever he is struggling cannot be as bad as fear in the beginning.
“I feel good; I didn’t think I would be in this position quickly, so I am really happy about it,” he said. “Our trainers have done a tremendous job with me. Healing has become better than my view, but I am still trying to take it day by day. Today was the first time today [these playoffs] I was on ice for a complete practice. I thought it was a great idea.
“Now it’s a matter of how I feel tomorrow, so I can’t do anything or rule anything. I am trying to go on day by day, and I am happy that I have come far away.”
