Cehlarik was sent down yesterday; Czarnik up for tonight.

Czarnik scored twice last night and is having a nice year in Providence, 13-29=42 in 38 games.

Acciari is back to full participation in practice, game time decision tomorrow. The article from BSJ makes it sound like he has been dealing with a LBI for most of the year, but it was aggravated against the Islanders, and he played through it until the team was healthy enough for him to take some time off. If he is truly fully healthy, the league better watch out because I thought he was pretty damn effective before.

I listened to the Toronto radio call, was there an obvious play where this may have happened? I don't think they mentioned anything.

Cassidy says XRay’s after Saturday’s game we’re negative. My guess is they did a scan after Sunday’s game.
Yep. Probably a hairline fracture that didn't show up in an X-ray. Better to get it better now and have him for the playoffs rather than play through it now.

The Wingles move makes a ton more sense now.

You're right....

Bergeron suffered the foot injury during the Bruins' 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. He left the Air Canada Centre in a walking boot, and an X-ray that night came back negative. After playing through "some discomfort" in his foot on Sunday against the Sabres, a CT scan revealed the small fracture.

It's nitpicking, but it irks the hell out of me that they still played him Sunday. If he wasn't 100%, don't play him in a game against a team you aren't jockeying for playoff position, the day after he hurt his foot.

So Toronto it is for the opening round. Fine - between the Leafs and the Raptors I've grown to dislike them so it will be nice to end their season early for the 51st time in a row.

Are these guys ever 100% though? If the x-ray came back negative and Bergy said he's fine, they're not going decide for him.

I wouldn’t be scared of McAvoy’s injury. I’d guess he’s out 3 weeks with a sprained MCL...

Matt Kalman is at practice and the Bruins are taking their team picture. Charlie McAvoy walked out onto the ice in slippers for the picture while Patrice Bergeron was pushed out to the picture in a folding chair by Brandon Carlo. Everyone else had skates on. I don't think they'd let McAvoy walk out onto the ice if he was seriously injured.

He is not practicing today. Neither is Rask.

Re-watching the injury feels like an exercise in trying to read tea leaves. He gets tripped and falls down. I'd guess a shoulder injury before anything else.
To me it looked like his left skate hung up for a split second then his foot sprung the other way. I thought it would be a non major left knee injury but you never know.

The way his leg looks all rubbery after he goes into the boards has me fearing the worst.

FWIW, Bedard’s doctor on BSJ thinks MCL sprain. Days/week if it is mild, 4-6 weeks if it is moderate. Brace, rest would be the treatment.

He was wearing a brace today, so that seems to line up with the available info.

She is correct. The 6 week thing is new. But 3-4 Weeks

That is 7-10 days before the playoffs if things go OK when he is re-evaluated.

And this is why they added Holden

I'd like him back for maybe the last couple games so he can get up to playoff speed before they start, but yeah, I'm not worried about him missing any time.

The team hasn’t said anything yet. Guess we’ll find out today/tomorrow since they’ll need to get bodies to Florida if those guys are out.

They are virtually guaranteed home ice in the 1st round at this point. If they catch Tampa, great. But I hope they don't bring guys back too early for that purpose. Keep all of the important players with injuries out as long as they need to be.

Wingels and McQuaid were healthy scratches last night, so they are covered if DeBrusk is out plus one of the defenseman. They’d need a D if both Chara and Krug can’t go. FWIW, there were no absences from Providence’s practice today. There is still plenty of time to get someone to Florida for the game tomorrow, but I would think they’d try to get someone there sooner rather than later if they knew both Chara and Krug were out.

Does that include JFK? It sounded like he had a serious head injury in late February but I've been able to find 0 about that since. Good job good effort Bruins media.

edit: Nevermind, just saw Divver's tweet:

BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, March 15, that the team has recalled forward Anton Blidh and defenseman Paul Postma from Providence on an emergency basis.

Blidh has skated in 59 games with Providence this season, recording nine goals and 13 assists for a career-high 22 points and a plus-nine rating. The 23-year-old winger appeared in 19 games with Boston in 2016-17, tallying one goal and one assist. He also played 53 games with Providence last season, notching 10 goals and six assists for 16 points and a plus-six rating. In his first professional season with Providence in 2015-16, the 6-foot, 201-pound forward posted 10 goals and four assists for 14 points in 65 appearances.

The Molnlycke, Sweden native was originally selected by the Bruins in the sixth round (180th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Postma has produced one assist in 12 games with Boston, and five assists in five games with Providence this season. He appeared in 65 games with the Winnipeg Jets in 2016-17, recording one goal and 13 assists for a career-high 14 points with 15 penalty minutes and a plus-three rating.

Over his nine-year professional career, the 29-year-old defenseman has appeared in 203 NHL games, tallying 10 goals and 25 assists for 35 points. He has also skated in 231 career AHL games, recording 49 goals and 101 assists for 150 points. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound defenseman was selected to play in the AHL All-Star Game in 2010-11 and 2011-12, and was also named to the AHL First All-Star Team following the 2011-12 season.

The Red Deer, Alberta native was originally selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the seventh round (205th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
