Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore practiced in full contact at this morning's skate.
Theodore returned to practice for the first time in a non-contact jersey since suffering an arm injury in the first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off. Prior to the injury, Theodore had scored seven goals and 48 points in 55 games, leading all Golden Knights defensemen in multiple offensive categories.
Following yesterday's practice, HC Bruce Cassidy mentioned that the 29-year-old "likely won't be cleared this week, but being on the ice is a good step in returning to the lineup."
The step Theodore took in his return process was much larger today, practicing with contact. He wore a grey jersey and not a white one, white indicating skating inside the top four, and Theodore wore grey, skating alongside healthy scratch Ben Hutton.
