Cammy downgraded to doubtful
Michael Cammalleri didn't practice Thursday because of bruised ribs and it's sounding less likely that he will play Saturday in Colorado or Sunday in Chicago.
``He's still sore,'' Crawford said. ``He worked out off the ice today. He's not ready to resume on ice. I would say he’s listed as doubtful for these next couple of games but we haven’t put him on the injujred list. Were hopeful he’s able to play, that’s why we haven’t put him on the injured list. It will be a day-to-day call and he’ll have the most to say on it. Mike's a pretty aware guy about his body. It’s not a big body but he’s aware of it, and he’ll tell us when he’s ready.''

Crawford sez: "Mike's a pretty aware guy about his body. It’s not a big body but he’s aware of it..."
