The Predators had a welcomed addition to their morning skate on Thursday.
Defenseman Ryan Ellis, who has missed the first 25 games of Nashville's season as he recovers from a knee injury, joined his teammates on the ice on Thursday morning, the first time he's skated with the full group since the Stanley Cup Final in June.
Ellis was on the ice prior to the skate taking shots on goaltender Anders Lindback and then remained on and participated in drills for the entirety of the session.
