Lucic (X2)

Milan Lucic missed a slough of games this season with various injuries and started to re-emerge as the go to power forward in the Bruins line up. Last night in a losing effort Lucic scored two goals. [Click to view second goal]

Lucic close to returning.

This is really good news because Lucic have missed him and Lucic is one of the core players of the Boston Bruins and his toughness is needed in the Boston Bruins line up. If the Bruins can get Milan Lucic and Marc Savard back and David Krejci going again the Bruins could do some serious damage in the Northeast division.

Lucic edges closer --- A welcome sight for the Bruins at the Garden this morning: Winger Milan Lucic skating with the team during the pre-game skate before tonight’s match against the Florida Panthers. Lucic has been sidelined since breaking a finger in Dallas Oct. 16. He has been skating on his own for the past week or so, but took an important step today and said he is hoping to return to the lineup in the opener of the B’s upcoming four-game trip, in Atlanta Thursday. If he’s not quite ready then, it’s a safe bet he will play at some point on the trip. Lucic plans to take part in practice today.

Center Marc Savard (broken foot) has not yet resumed skating.

The Bruins are looking for their third successive win tonight, with the red-hot Tim Thomas expected in nets. Thomas blanked Pittsburgh Tuesday, 3-0, and has allowed only six goal in his last five games.

Krejci back and Lucic skating.

This some of the best news that I have gotten all week. Krejci back from his bout with H1N1 and Milan Lucic is back skating with the team and that should mean he will be playing in Bruins uniform very soon. With Lucic recovering from a broken finger I don't expect he will be getting into many fights though.

WILMINGTON - Bruins' center David Krejci returned to practice this morning at Ristuccia Arena for the first time since being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus last Wednesday. Krejci, who worked out on his own yesterday because the Bruins had a day off, missed Thursday and Saturday's games but could be back in the lineup tomorrow night when the Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Garden.

Michael Ryder did not skate. Coach Claude Julien said he was under the weather but was not suffering from H1N1.

Milan Lucic (broken right index finger) skated before practice in full gear with a puck and was out on the ice for about 40 minutes. Julien said he couldn't give a timetable for his return.
