He's coming back.
After walking away from the game of hockey last summer, Mike Fisher has decided that maybe he isn't quite done just yet.
On Wednesday morning at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Fisher took to the ice in what is the first step toward the former Predators centerman rejoining the club he captained to within two wins of a Stanley Cup last spring - with hopes of getting just a little bit further this time around.
Indeed, Fisher intends to begin skating and working out on his own before joining the entire team for practices. The ultimate goal is to sign a contract before the Feb. 26 trade deadline and return to game action and pursue the one thing every hockey player dreams of.
It's a virtually unprecedented move - only a handful of former NHLers have stepped out of retirement and back onto the ice to give it one more try.
So, what does this mean for Fisher and the team moving forward? Here are three things to watch for as No. 12 makes his return to Smashville.
