Mark Giordano is one step closer to returning to the lineup.

The Calgary Flames captain returned to practice on Saturday in a limited contact role as the team prepares to face the Anaheim Ducks in Game 2 of their Round 2 series.

Giordano was injured in a game against the New Jersey Devils in late February, suffering a torn biceps tendon. The injury required surgery, which was supposed to keep Giordano out 4-5 months.

The Flames defenceman was putting up Norris Trophy numbers before getting hurt, tallying 48 points in 61 games.

Giordano commented on his participation following the practice.

Calgary was routed 6-1 in a dismal Game 1 on Thursday.
