"Cleared for his first day of contact in nearly a month, Bruins winger Milan Lucic wasted little time getting gritty at yesterday’s practice at Ristuccia Arena. Coach Claude Julien said Lucic is “a game-time decision’’ for tomorrow night’s game at Atlanta. But considering the Bruins’ recent scoring slump, don’t be surprised if the left wing suits up.
Meanwhile, Marc Savard skated for roughly 20 minutes before the team practiced. Savard, who was also put on long-term injured reserve last month with a broken left foot, was still wearing a protective boot as recently as Monday (Boston.com)."
Good news all around here. I think Lucic will play tomorrow, and my feeling is Savard will be back in the next week or so. The Bruins really need these guys back. Lucic can add that in front of the net presence that has been missing. The Bruins are getting shots, but they aren't putting it home on rebounds, and that is where Lucic can come in.
Obviously Savard is more important. The Bruins powerplay has been nothing short of horrible, but when you add a playmaker like Savard back in there it could change everything. We will know a lot more about these Bruins when those 2 are back on the ice.
