Buffalo Sabres forward Sam Carrick is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left arm injury and could return to practice on Tuesday.

Carrick, 34, initially was expected to miss the Eastern Conference second-round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens. The best-of-seven set begins Wednesday night in Buffalo.

'(He's) going to see our doctors today and thinks he's further along than maybe I portrayed yesterday,' Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Monday. 'So, with good news, he could join our team back in practice tomorrow, which is great news. That would put him a little bit ahead of schedule.'

Carrick has not played or practiced since he was injured in a March 31 fight against the New York Islanders.

Acquired from the New York Rangers at the trade deadline, Carrick recorded five goals and one assist in 13 games for the Sabres.

Carrick has 89 points (43 goals, 46 assists) and 439 penalty minutes in 393 career games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, Rangers and Sabres.
