With this recall, it could mean that Jarome Iginla may miss some time with the hand injury he sustained in his fight against Canucks Ryan Kesler on Saturday. According to reports, Jarome Iginla missed practice today.

In other Bruins news, forward Daniel Paille has been having concussion symptoms. Bruins coach Claude Julien has said that forward Loui Eriksson hasn't even come to the rink so that's not a good sign.
