Bruins Get Some Good News? Zdeno Chara Day-To-Day

The surgery will be performed by Dr. Louis Jenis at Massachusetts General Hospital. Seidenberg is expected to make a full recovery.

Seidenberg turned 34 on July 18. But with the club two proven defensemen, it’s time for Morrow to join the National Hockey League ranks and contribute to the Black and Gold on a full-time basis. The Bruins should provide an update on Chara’s status as soon as they get a chance to further evaluate him. Although his skills have declined a bit with his age, it’s still a big loss to Boston’s defense.

The Bruins will enter the upcoming season without one of their top defenseman. With the team rebuilding this gives an opportunity for many players to step up.

Chara played in just 63 games last season after suffering a knee injury in late October.

“A right shot, Miller, 6’0”, 181 lbs, also put up a powerplay assist with a nice fake and feed from the blueline to Ryan Spooner, who sent a great pass across to Irwin where he fired it home sneaking in from the left point. But when a clearing pass bounced along the sideboards, he switched to his backhand and failed to keep the puck in the zone.

Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien was a little concerned following Thursday night’s preseason win over the Rangers, but said he received some good news on Friday. Ference only did it in a pinch and was a more reliable choice than anyone else on the blue line today.

The Bruins have established no other to play on his off-side.

A player that seized the moment a couple years ago when he scored four goals against the Rangers in the 2013 playoffs after being recalled from Providence and never touched AHL ice again is Krug. So Seidenberg will be missed for more than his physical strength and calm demeanor under pressure.

It’s very possible that GM Don Sweeney goes out and tries to add a veteran stopgap in the interim.
