Jeff Schultz (thumb) had the cast removed from his right hand on Tuesday.
It was replaced by a splint on his thumb. "It's just a matter of tolerating a little bit of pain when passing and shooting the puck. It's better than I thought it was going to be at this stage after two weeks with the cast," Schultz said. "A lot is up to me, with the pain and what I think I can do out there...I'd like to play in [the Winter Classic] and maybe get a game in before then to just get the feel back, but if it's not good enough to go I'm not going to rush." Schultz led the NHL in plus/minus last season at plus-50 so he has some fantasy value.
