Alexander Frolov, out with a strained groin, didn’t practice today, but that’s not a surprise. Marc Crawford wouldn’t rule out Frolov playing Wednesday at San Jose. Here’s what Crawford had to say today…

“We’ll see how he is. If he’s in good shape tomorrow and (doctors are) giving us clearance, we’ll utilize him. We’d love to have Alexander in our lineup, because we’re a better team with him than we are without him. He can do so many things and he’s a quality player. We also know that part of the reason that we’re holding him back right now is that we want his injury to have time to heal. That’s what we’re continuing to monitor on a day-to-day basis. We’ll test it again tomorrow, off the ice. If we feel, on Wednesday morning, like he’s ready to try it out, maybe we’ll try it out. If not, he won’t play. That will be a decision that’s made right near the end.”
