Chris Pronger skated for the third time on Friday, by himself, as he recovers from a right eye injury.

All signs seem to point toward Pronger playing either next week in Tampa Bay or next weekend in Florida.

For his part, Captain Warmth, who wore a visor on the ice, said he was withholding comment until Saturday.

“He won’t play [Saturday against Columbus],” general manager Paul Holmgren said. “He’ll take part in the morning skate. He needs some practice time with the team before he comes back, but he’s getting closer.”

Next week?

“We’ll see how he does over the next few days,” Holmgren replied. “Chris has been around the block a few times. I’m sure he’ll feel more comfortable once he gets some practice time in.”
