Bergeron out, Satan in tonight vs Ottawa

With Patrice Bergeron getting injured in last night's game vs the New York Rangers, Miroslav Satan will come into the lineup tonight against the Ottawa Senators. Milan Lucic is still not ready to play. Tim Thomas will start in net.

Claude Julien on Satan coming into the lineup sooner than expected:

"Yeah, he will," said Julien. "We were hoping to give him at least a week but the circumstances are we don't have any extra forward right now.

"He's in good shape. I think the only thing we wanted to give him a chance to do is to get his timing and give him a week of practice and unfortunately he doesn't have that luxury and neither do we.

"So we still think with his experience and he's in great shape and everything else, he'll be able to help us," he said.
