Cole could return to the lineup Friday if Trevor Daley (undisclosed) is unable to play.

Analysis:

Friday could give Cole, who has served as a healthy scratch in recent action, the opportunity to once again prove himself. The organization has lost faith in his abilities, which makes sense, given that the blueliner has only four points (all assists) and a minus-17 rating in 45 games.
