The forward sustained a concussion when he was checked by Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Second Round on June 2.
“Yesterday was a bit shorter, today was a bit longer,” Ducharme said of Evans’ solo skates.
Scheifele was assessed a major penalty for charging and a game misconduct, and received a four-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety the following day.
“The most important thing is for him to be at 100 percent,” Ducharme said.
