ImpactOettinger participated in Wednesday's optional skate. The 25-year-old goaltender hasn't played since Dec. 15, but it sounds like it won't be long before he makes his return.

Evgenii Dadonov - Logs assist TuesdayDadonov managed an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
ImpactDadonov continues to pepper points across his ledger -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in six of the last nine games. The winger is up to eight goals, eight helpers, 49 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 34 outings. Dadonov remains in a third-line role, but his more consistent play of late has reduced the threat of him being a healthy scratch again any time soon.
