Teppo practiced with the team today at the arena. Awesome.

Numminen skated with injured defensemen Jaroslav Spacek (ribs) and Dmitri Kalinin (right shoulder) for an hour before participating in the Sabres�� workout before their game Friday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

��It��s been a long journey,�� Numminen said. ��It��s great to be healthy and great to be back here.��

My boy is thrilled.

Richard Zednik is back on the ice as well, if only for a few minutes. He’s not yet cleared to work out, though.
