News: Ference (lower body) remains sidelined as Thursday's Game 4 against the Rangers approaches. [+]
Impact: At this point, both Wade Redden and Dennis Seidenberg, who have also been sidelined, appear to be closer to being available to the Bruins than Ference. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013) |
News: Redden (undisclosed injury) took line rushes with fellow banged up blueliner Dennis Seidenberg at Thursday's morning skate. [+]
Impact: The pair of veterans are both nearing a return to availability, but with the Bruins up in their series against the Rangers 3-0 -- and fill-ins Torey Krug, Dougie Hamilton and Matt Bartkowski playing well -- we suspect that the duo won't be deployed in Thursday's Game 4. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013) |
News: Seidenberg (leg) indicated Wednesday that "there's a chance" he could play in Thursday's Game 4 against the Rangers, csnne.com reports. [+]
Impact: That said, with the Bruins up 3-0 in the series and young blueliners Torey Krug, Matt Bartkowski and Dougie Hamilton playing solid hockey of late, don't be surprised to see the Bruins play it safe and not rush Seidenberg back on Thursday. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013) |

News: Grabovski has reportedly admitted that he bit Montreal forward Max Pacioretty in a game on Feb. 9, reports TSN.ca, which cited Dmitry Chesnokov, a Russian-American writer with Yahoo! Sports. "(Pacioretty) was choking me and I bit him," said Grabovski. "Don't stick your hands where you shouldn't." [+]
Impact: After the incident, the NHL didn't hand down any supplemental discipline because it couldn't determine if there was a bite or not. Honestly comes later, we guess. "To be honest with you he was choking me pretty hard, to the point where I really couldn't breathe," continued Grabo. "And I couldn't pull his hand away at all. I tried to hit him with my other hand, but I couldn't because he was choking me. There was nothing left to do but bite him." We wonder if the league will reconsider its stance and levy something that will be effective to start next season ( RotoWire - Mon. May 20, 2013) |
News: Bozak (triceps) won't require surgery, the Toronto Sun reports. [+]

News: Reimer will start Game 7 against the Bruins on Monday, NHL.com reports. [+]
Impact: Reimer has been great in the past two games for the Leafs, giving up just two goals on 74 shots against over that span. He will need to be good again Monday in order for the Leafs to advance after trailing the Bruins 3-1 in the series. ( RotoWire - Mon. May 13, 2013) |
