The bad news appeared to outweigh the good news at Saturday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena.
Sure, the Bruins saw four of their injured players back on the ice for a full skate — the return of Vezina favorite Linus Ullmark was the big news on that front — but it was also an on-ice session that came without captain Patrice Bergeron present, and a skate that Brad Marchand failed to finish.
That’s not what anybody wants to read this time of year.
But like he has for what feels like a month now, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery did his part to put any panic to bed when speaking with reporters after the spirited skate ahead of Monday’s Game 1.
