DETROIT – Forward Jan Mursak is back on the ice with the Detroit Red Wings, but still a couple of weeks away from returning to action.

Mursak on Wednesday participated in his first full practice with the team since he suffered a collar bone/shoulder injury on a hit from David Backes in the season opener Jan. 19 in St. Louis.

“I felt pretty good,'' Mursak said. “I’ve been skating for a few days now on my own. My shoulder is getting better. I’m still a week or two away from being able to get some contact on that shoulder.

“Hopefully, it goes the same way as it did the last week and I’m back playing pretty soon.''

The fast-skating right wing said he can do everything in practice, except take contact.

“I felt good shooting, passing and skating,'' he said.
