The veteran defenseman is expected back sometime this month.
After reinjuring his tricep and missing the final few weeks of the season last year, Rasmus Ristolainen is inching closer to his season debut. Rick Tocchet did not put a true timeline on his return, but it will be less than a month but more than a week. He has been skating with the team's development staff to get up to speed with the new systems.
With that, it's likely his return falls within the next two to three weeks.
