Hayden (upper body) took the ice for a skating session back in Chicago on Friday, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hayden's session reportedly provided enough encouragement that coach Joel Quenneville suggested the center could return to the lineup for next Wednesday's game against the Blues. Given Chicago's non-playoff standing, the team will likely ensure he's healthy before slotting him back into the lines. However, his status shouldn't be of huge concern in many fantasy leagues since he's recorded only 13 points -- four goals and nine assists -- through 47 games this season.
