Sill (undisclosed) took part in Friday's practice, Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

Sill missed Thursday's game against the Panthers due to the injury, but his presence to practice suggests a long-term absence was off the table. With Greg McKegg heading back to AHL Toronto and Sam Carrick missing Friday's practice due to family reasons, there could be room in the lineup Saturday against the Senators to accommodate the returns of Sill and Trevor Smith (undisclosed).
