He looked really fresh out there the way he was skating. I think he's glad to be back here and get into a normal routine.

You don't want to aggravate (the hand). It's just a matter of letting it settle down. I think he'll be fine. He seems pretty confident (about playing Sunday). I can't say for sure because it's a day-to-day thing.

I think when we started the season, there was a big adjustment for him. Then he adapted very quickly and came along really well, which was good to see because we needed that veteran leadership back on the blue line. I've been pleased with how he's played.

This guy is a tremendous player. He's got more moves...you think you know one move, then he pulls another one on you...

I think it was necessary, and now in retrospect, I'm glad I did it.

We've used Keith before at center ... not this year but previously when he's been in St. Louis. I can't say it will stay pat or not ... we had a practice today, and I wanted to see how it would go in practice.
