Zegras underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus on Dec. 12, but he appears to be progressing in his recovery and closing in on a return to game action. A specific timetable for his return isn't yet known, but his participation in Monday's practice session was encouraging.

Getting back a key player from injury, Trevor Zegras will return to action for the Ducks and suit up for the first time since Dec. 4. A first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, the 23-year-old forward has tallied 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 24 games this season.

Week with the Florida Panthers kicks off tonight in Southern California against the Anaheim Ducks. The game is scheduled to start at 10 p.m. Of Florida’s four games out west this week, three will start at 10.
