I rather Kovy gets rested and healed before being rushed for nothing

We've all seen how Kovy plays when he isnt 100 percent.

I doubt we know how often he plays when not 100%. Last year he had a ruptured disk so yeah he wasnt very good. I think Kovy at 90% is better than 95% of the players in the league.

If he's well enough to make the difference between making the playoffs or not, and it doesnt cause permanent injury paly him!

Devils right wing Ilya Kovalchuk sounded unsure today if he will be ready to return from his right shoulder injury and play in Friday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators.

“We’ll see. I don’t know,” Kovalchuk said. “I just want to feel comfortable out there and do whatever I do best. I just don’t want to go in the lineup and take somebody’s place and just be out there because I want to be there. I’m not that kind of guy. If I’ll come back, I’ll play my 100 percent and try my best. I just don’t want to be a passenger to sit on the bench and get the best seat in the house.

“Physically I feel fine conditioning-wise, but I still got some discomfort to shoot the one-timer or something. That’s the weapon I use a lot in the game and if I’m not going to have it there’s no reason to go there.”

Kovalchuk attempted some one-timers during today’s practice.

“I did some one-timers,” he said. “First time in two and a half weeks, so it’s a positive thing.”

Whether it was good enough for Kovalchuk to play in a game Friday, he wasn’t ready to say.

“I’ll have another 20 hours, so we’ll see,” he said.

He's not playing tonite but very good chance he will play on Monday. Sooner the better! We win half of the games we've lost with him in the lineup. Amazing how many one goal games we've lost since he went down.
