Injury Problems in Beantown

Word on the street is that the Boston Bruins are reeling a bit after their tough game against the Ducks last night, losing both Marc Savard and Milan Lucic to upper body injuries. This could be a pretty big blow to the Bruins, if they are out for any long stretch of time, thankfully, they put a lot of distance between themselves and second place in the East.

It would be interesting to find out that Savard got injured in his tussle/wrestling match with Scott Niedermayer, as it would be one of Peter's players taking out another. Peter is hoping that Savard's injury isn't severe, as he would then be losing his best forward on his team. Savard has 67 points in 62 games this season and that's a massive hole to fill, which cannot be filled voluntarily. I have a feeling that Peter will send Niedermayer a memo saying that he'll have to make up for any of Savard's lost production.

Lucic, on the other hand, was not picked in the Draft or either Waiver Draft, so he's just considered a Sheet player. Lucic was also laying waste in a fight and he may have injured his hand in the process. It's likely that there will be a better update either later today or tomorrow before the action starts.
