"The head feels good," Brule said. "I just need to get some contact in and I was trying to get a little bit of that in today, but not full contact yet. I was hoping to play tomorrow, but I don't know if that's going to be the case. I just need to get another practice where I'm taking some more hits and seeing how my head feels more so than just skating around out there today." We'd be a little surprised if Brule ends up playing on Tuesday, but it does sound like he's close to returning. Stay tuned.
