Aston-Reese practices with team: ‘It’s nice to be back’

COLUMBUS, Ohio. -- Zach Aston-Reese joined his teammates for practice Wednesday for the first time since he suffered a lower-body injury on Feb. 16

Aston-Reese, who has been skating on his own for the past several days, was a full participant with contact for the practice.

"It feels good," Aston-Reese said of being back on the ice with the team. "I know this feeling all too well. It's almost like you've being imprisoned a little bit, kind of isolated from everybody. It's nice to be back, it's been pretty lonely."

Aston-Reese was given the "week-to-week" designation back on Feb.
