The Swedish center, who suffered a lower-body injury on April 30, trained with the team during the morning warm-up on Friday - although for a limited time.

"I thought it looked good. We'll see what we do next."

Coach John Hynes said after practice he believes there is a chance the Swede could start against Colorado.

Eriksson Ek is missing. Minnesota lost the first two quarterfinal games and conceded 14 goals.

However, defenseman Jonas Brodin is still unable to play. He suffered a lower-body injury on April 28 and has not yet been able to skate.
