Aaron Hickey - Remains without return date Hickey remains without a return date as he progresses from his hamstring injury.
Impact There was never a confirmation of hamstring surgery for Hickey, but given that he's been out since October, there's a chance he underwent some kind of procedure. He suffered a bad hamstring to start and then suffered a recurrence in January, so it's likely they're taking things as slow as possible with a return and there's a chance he doesn't play again this season.
