There's some not so good news on Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. McQuaid is suffering from headaches and has neck pain from his injury in the game against Carolina where he fell awkwardly into the boards hitting his head. So the Bruins are treating his situation as if it's a concussion just to be safe. McQuaid will not play tomorrow against the Chicago Blackhawks. Defenseman Matt Bartkowski will get into the lineup and replace McQuaid.
"He's still day to day and we're taking a cautious route," Bruins coach Claude Julien told reporters after the club's practice Friday afternoon in Chicago. "We're handling as if it was a concussion, but he's feeling better every day, and if it is [a concussion] it's probably just a mild one. We're more concerned about his neck right now."

"He's still suffering some headaches," Julien said. "Right now a lot of it is neck pain, so it's hard to diagnose whether it's definitely a concussion or whether it's just a neck strain he suffered on that fall."
