Roberto Luongo returned to the ice Monday as the Vancouver Canucks skated in Dallas for an hour before travelling to St. Louis in preparation for Tuesday night's game vs. the Blues.
Luongo was on the ice for 30 minutes with goalie coach Ian Clark before taking part in his first full practice since suffering a hair-line rib fracture a couple of weeks ago. Afterwards, Luongo said he'll wait and see how he's feeling as the day moves along before determining whether or not he's healthy enough to play Tuesday.
Luongo said that he might be pushing to be back-up tomorrow night.
Head coach Alain Vigneault said that as soon as Luongo tells him he's ready to play, they'll send Cory Schneider back to the Manitoba Moose.
Daniel Sedin was the only Canuck not to skate today as he went through off-ice work-outs and treatment. He said he likely wouldn't be ready to suit up until Thursday in Detroit.
Steve Bernier looks to be 100% healthy as he worked back on a line with Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows. Jannik Hansen is also getting closer to returning to game action.
