Injury Updates

P.J. Axelsson is still wearing a boot on his left foot. He will not be in the lineup for Thursday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Look for Axelsson to miss Saturday night's game against New Jersey as well. He was scheduled for an MRI earlier yesterday, with the results not being available until sometime today. As for defenseman Paul Mara, he skated with the team during the morning workout. Mara has been sidelined the past 10 days with a bruised thigh. His status for Thursday's game is probable. The Bruins sent Jeff Hoggan to Providence yesterday, meaning they are short a forward because Axelsson cannot go. Look for them to call up someone tonight, or they could skate 7 defensemen, if Mara is healthy enough to play. If they did recall someone, it will probably be Nate Thompson or Ben Walter, but I would like them to give David Krejci or Kris Versteeg a chance, who are the two leading scorers on the Baby B's.
