Injury Update

Marc Savard will not play tonight against Toronto because of a broken bone in his back. There is no timetable on his return.

Chuck Kobasew is expected to miss between 4 and 8 weeks after taking a Zdeno Chara slapshot off his leg which fractured his tibia.

Patrice Bergeron is continuing to make strides towards full recovery. He passed a neuro-psych test yesterday but is still far from returning to the lineup. He is still 10 pounds less than he wants to be and has still not participated in contact drills. This is great news for the Bruins, just to see him progressing. I would love to see him return this season (playoffs, if we make it?), but the most important thing is that he recovers fully and does not rush himself back into the lineup.

Andrew Ference will also miss tonight's game.

Manny Ferandez is close to returning to action, but do the Bruins want to risk playing a goaltender who has barely played all season? I think not, especially with the tight standings their dealing with now.

Andrew Alberts has been cleared for full contact in practice. He is close to returning as well, but right now Matt Lashoff is probably the better option back on the blueline.
