Where is Phil?

I got this from the Bruins beat writer today. You have to wonder what a maintenance day is? I have been trying to get some clarification on this one. Hopefully it isn't anything serious and Phil has been sick the last two seasons.

Practice lineup, with Shane Hnidy and Matt Hunwick as the two spare defensemen:

Forward lines:

1.) P.J. Axelsson Marc Savard Blake Wheeler
2.) Mark Recchi Patrice Bergeron Chuck Kobasew
3.) Milan Lucic David Krejci Michael Ryder
4.) Shawn Thornton Stephane Yelle Byron Bitz

Defense:

1.) Zdeno Chara, Dennis Wideman
2.) Andrew Ference, Steve Montador
3.) Mark Stuart, Aaron Ward

Goalies

Tim Thomas
Manny Fernandez

UPDATE: Phil Kessel was given a maintenance day today. He was the only Bruin not to practice today.

  1. Wait, by "sick" do you mean "good" or "ailing."

    Because if it's the second, he didn't lose any time after his cancer recovery until his mono outbreak.

    And if it's the first, you're right. First 30-goal scorer for the bruins since Bergeron post-lockout!

    From what I gather, a "maintenance day" is like a sick day, on a practice day, so that a player doesn't get hurt worse. Usually it doesn't have anything to do with whether they'll play the next game.
