Usually injury news isn’t particularly exciting during a long NHL season, as injuries are a way of life for any team during the long season.

But in this case it was noteworthy, considering who it was.

Goaltender Jonathan Bernier and forward Tyler Bertuzzi are both beginning to skate. They're both with the team on this current Florida trip, inching toward a return to the lineup.

Forward Tyler Bertuzzi has been limited to nine games this season because of injury.
More so, Bernier, said coach Jeff Blashill after Thursday’s morning skate. Bernier participated in Thursday's morning skate, as he steadily progresses from a lower body injury.

“He’s inching closer,” Blashill said. “We practice tomorrow and we’ll see how he does with that.”
