Bortuzzo (upper body) was on the ice for Monday's practice.

Analysis:

Bortuzzo is right on schedule in his rehab process, and should be able to return fairly soon now that he's begun practicing again. The blueliner has yet to suit up so far this season, but recorded 10 assists and 74 PIM in 54 games with the Penguins a year ago.
