RALEIGH -- Erik Cole was back on the ice Wednesday and skating with the Carolina Hurricanes, but the forward isn't sure when he'll be back in the lineup.

Cole, who suffered a leg fracture Oct. 3, participated in the team's morning skate at the RBC Center before the game with the St. Louis Blues. He wore a yellow jersey, denoting his noncontact status, but he was skating and cutting and helping out on defense.

"It was just a pregame skate, so we knew it wouldn't be anything too strenuous," Cole said. "I was on the ice beforehand, so it was to see if I could do some regular drills, the skating drills."
