Before today's game against the Capitals the Bruins recalled goalie Tuukka Rask from the Providence Bruins (AHL) on an emergency basis. A very big win for the Bruins against the Capitals who have had the upper hand in previous games this season vs the Bruins. It was good to see Patrice Bergeron, Andrew Ference, and Milan Lucic all back in the lineup for the Bruins. Here are some updates on other injured/out of the lineup Bruins:
The next Bruins game is on Thursday vs the New Jersey Devils.
Yesterday, Coach Julien gave updates on three of his injured players.
"[Manny Fernandez] is probably going to miss a few days here again," he said. "It's just...general soreness.
"It's really not that serious, but it's one of those things where we [could] give him a few days.
And Phil Kessel?
"When you've got mono [you] can't take any contact," said Julien. "So, that's why he stepped on the ice afterwards.
"Even if he wasn't participating in battle drills, if he collided with somebody that's a danger so that's why we put him on the ice later.
"His condition could change any day. If he gets tested and his spleen is fine then he's free to go. He's feeling good, obviously feeling much better, he seems to have a lots of energy, now it's just a matter of waiting for the medical clearance," he said.
Marco Sturm is out of commission, however.
"With the type of surgery he's had, he’s done for the year," said Julien, who indicated that Sturm's surgery went well. "It's normally almost an eight-month process, I think, and I know there's other guys six months later they're back."
