Travis Zajac underwent surgery to repair a torn left pectoral muscle on Aug. 17, and has been medically cleared to participate in practice. On Saturday, Zajac skated with the team for the first time since susatining his injury.

Despite participating in today's morning skate, Coach Hynes told the media that Zajac will not be in the lineup this weekend and is hopeful for the forward to return to game-action next week.
