Fernandez and Thornton go on injured reserve

The Bruins have placed goalie Manny Fernandez and forward Shawn Thornton on the injured reserve list. Fernandez is out with a left knee strain and Thornton is out for 4-6 weeks with a broken bone in his left foot. So Tuukka Rask will be up with the club most likely with Fernandez out. Also Jeremy Reich will be filling in for Thornton while he is out and provide the Bruins with his energy and toughness, although I can't see Reich taking on heavyweights as Thornton would.
