Bruins Get Mark Recchi

The Bruins have pulled off a trade that is sending Mark Recchi to Boston. No word on what the Bruins are sending to Tampa, but according to multiple sources it won't be much.

The 41 year old Recchi has scored 13 goals and 32 assists this season. I think this a great pick up for the Bruins. Recchi will give them a much needed veteran presence going into the playoffs, while also helping out on the powerplay.

**UPDATE**

Recchi and a 2010 second-round pick to Boston. Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums to the Lightning.

Bruins Injury Updates

- Aaron Ward will be out for about a week, as the Bruins injured players list continues to grow. Matt Lashoff will take his place.

- Patrice Bergeron skated for the 4th straight day today, as he battles back from his concussion. No word on a timetable for his return, but at least he is skating.

- Andrew Ference skated with Bergeron and seems to be nearing a return. I would expect him to be back at some point during the next 2 weeks.

- Milan Lucic practiced today, but was not able to do contact drill. The good news is that he is traveling with the team, and may be able to play the game after next against Washington.

- Manny Fernandez will be available tomorrow after taking a couple days off to let his back recover from spasms. He had a full day of practice and is good to go.
