Savard hurt, Bruins recall Trent Whitfield

With Bruins center Marc Savard going down in last night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Bruins have recalled veteran center Trent Whitfield from Providence (AHL) on an emergency basis. He has already played in seven games this season for the Bruins. Expect him to be in the lineup on Saturday against the New York Rangers. No news yet on Savard's injury.

If you watched last night's game, you saw a real good Chicago team mostly dominate the Bruins after they went down 2-0 in the first period. The Blackhawks reminded me a lot of the Bruins last season. With now the Bruins two top centers out of the lineup, this week and the coming week are going to be tough. I'm wondering if the Bruins may try to make a deal or something to fill the center spot. There are rumors that the Carolina Hurricanes may be looking to deal players. Rod Brind'Amour may be a good pickup if possible even though he is near the end of his career.
