The winger skated today for the first time since separating his shoulder during the home opener against Toronto on October 15, and though he said he doesn’t yet have a timetable for a return, that could come sometime around the November 14 game against Edmonton. (“It’s not there yet, but I like where it’s going,” he said.) He also did some stick-handling and took some wrist shots, though he didn’t try winding up for any slap shots. So, baby steps, we suppose. Meanwhile, in astrology-related Rangers news (well, sort of), the Times has a photo of the badass mask Martin Biron says he hopes to soon wear in a game, based on the famous Leo design worn by idiosyncratic former Rangers goalie Gilles Gratton back in 1977. (Like Gratton, Biron is a Quebec-born Leo.)
