Hurricanes' Petr Mrazek: Back at practice

Mrazek (thumb) is on the ice for practice Thursday, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Mrazek underwent surgery on his right thumb just a little over a week ago, so his return still shouldn't be considered imminent, but it's nonetheless highly encouraging to see him back on the ice Thursday. The Hurricanes should release additional updates as Mrazek's rehab progresses.
