The Bruins Bear Essentials blog says that center Marc Savard and defenseman Andrew Ference are injured. Marc Savard was injured on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens when agitator Steve Begin cross checked him in the back, and the referees didn't call a penalty when Savard was down, obviously hurt and in pain. Savard will not play in the next two games, which is a huge blow to the already low-scoring Bruins.
As for Andrew Ference, he also will not play in tomorrow's game against the Maple Leafs.
This is bad news for a team that needs points desperately and needs veterans like Savard and Ference in the lineup. Hopefully someone steps up in their places.
"Savvy's situation is a result from the crosscheck the other night," he told the media gathered in the Ristuccia Center on Monday. "He's having a CAT scan done today and we'll probably know more later on today.
"But he will not be making the trip, there is no doubt about that."
As for Andrew Ference, he also will not play in tomorrow's game against the Maple Leafs.
"With Ference it is a leg injury and that happened last game, as well," said Coach Julien. "He's day-to-day. And will definitely not be making the trip with us for tomorrow's game.
"But after that, he'll be a day-to-day situation."
