A pair of Toronto Maple Leafs forwards were back in view on Saturday.
Injured wingers William Nylander and Dakota Joshua returned to the ice for the first time since being sidelined, skating ahead of a cancelled team practice.
However, their timelines to return to game action remain unclear, per head coach Craig Berube.
While Nylander's recovery remains up in the air, Joshua is still out for the foreseeable future, the coach said.
Nylander has missed four straight games with a groin injury suffered against the Vegas Golden Knights during a road trip earlier in January.
The Swede, who is set to play for his country at the Olympics, still leads the team with 48 points despite appearing in only 37 games.
It marks the second time Nylander has dealt with a lower-body injury this season, previously returning on Jan. 10 after a six-game absence.
Joshua, who has a kidney injury, had not skated publicly since Dec. 28.
The forward has endured a rough return to the Maple Leafs after an off-season trade, managing just six goals and four assists in 36 games while dealing with multiple injuries himself.
Toronto returns to action for a Sunday matinee against the Colorado Avalanche (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 1:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 a.m. PT).
Goalie Joseph Woll will get the start in net, Berube said, as the Maple Leafs look to snap a three-game skid.
