Vokoun may make return on Tuesday - Nashville, Tennessee - Saturday, 01/06/07 - Tennessean.com
Tonight or Tuesday.
Those are the options Predators Coach Barry Trotz is mulling regarding Tomas Vokoun's return to the net.
Trotz had initially sounded as if Vokoun would start tonight against St. Louis, but it now looks more likely that Vokoun will back up Chris Mason tonight and then start Tuesday against Anaheim.
In either case, Vokoun is looking forward to making his first appearance since he tore ligaments and fractured a bone in his left thumb Nov. 23.
"It'll be nice to get back because it's been about six weeks since it happened,'' Vokoun said. "But there are still a lot of games left and this is the most important part of the season. I'd like to get back to doing my job.''
Vokoun will be wearing a protective device that helps him grip the stick.
