Zubrus (leg laceration) skated on his own Friday morning, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Zubrus remains on IR and will again sit out Friday's game against the Lightning, but the team does appear to consider him day-to-day in his recovery. He may need to get in a practice or two with the rest of the team before he's formally activated, so a return for Saturday's game probably shouldn't be anticipated either.
