The Boston Bruins have had a pretty eventful day so far as well as having an eventful night yesterday. Last night they were able to pull off an ugly 5-4 victory against the New Jersey Devils but lost Brad Marchand after he took an elbow to the head from Anton Volchenkov. Volchenkov was suspended for four games today by the NHL for the incident. Marchand’s injury is unknown and his status for tonight’s game against the New York Islanders is up in the air.

Patrice Bergeron Update

Patrice Bergeron was skating at the team’s optional skate this morning which means he has started the “Road to Recovery” as GM Peter Chiarelli said. Bergeron has been missed by the Bruins immensely and they, as well as the fans, would love to see Bergeron back for the playoffs.

Carl Soderberg Update

This news just broke a little while ago. The Swedish Ice Hockey Federation is trying to block Carl Soderberg from joining the Boston Bruins so he can play for the country’s Worlds team, per Bob McKenzie of TSN. Earlier this week, Soderberg signed a three year deal with the Bruins which would have meant that he would be coming to the Bruins for the playoffs. Nothing is official yet but things should be clearing up soon and that information will be posted here as soon as it breaks.
