November 20, 2008 Brian Rolston is progressing in his recovery from a sprained ankle, according to the NY Post. He said, "I'm feeling good, back on the ice, just skating by myself, with a stick, getting my strength, taking it slow. It's going to take me a little bit to get back conditioning-wise. As far as my ankle, at this point it feels real good. It gets stronger every day, so we add a little more intensity every day."
