What It Means:

"I feel good," Bogosian said after practicing again Monday. "I'm not going to sit here and say I'm in. That's up to coach, but I feel like I'm ready to go. I feel like the last few days has been a step forward, for sure." He has missed the first 17 games of the season because of an injury he sustained early at training camp. Bogosian may have to play on the left side when he gets back into the fold.

In 62 games last year, his first with Buffalo, Bogosian totaled three goals and 17 assists. The 62 games played were his most since 2011-'12.
