Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne, who was announced yesterday to be day-to-day with a lower-body injury, returned to the team's practice in Ottawa on Wednesday afternoon.

The NHL's Third Star of the Week missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's contest versus the Maple Leafs, but was back in the crease at the Bell Sensplex today. Marek Mazanec was the other goalie on the ice for Nashville on Wednesday.
