Bruins vs. Islanders game notes: Sturm doubtful against Red Wings


*Michael Ryder scored twice to lead the Boston Bruins to a 7-2 win today. Ryder now has five goals this season as he broke a scoring slump in which he had scored only once in the previous 12 games.


*Blake Wheeler and David Krejci each had a goal and an assist in the win. Ryder was added to the line and the three really clicked and were plus-nine in the game.


*Chuck Kobasew, Phil Kessel and Dennis Wideman also scored for the Bruins.


*Manny was Manny today at the Garden. Fernandez stopped 22 of 24 shots and is now 6-1-1 this season.



Sturm Update
From Boston.com--
Marco Sturm said he suffered a concussion against Chicago on Nov. 12. Sturm played the next three games but felt especially poor against Toronto, leading to his five-game sit down. But Sturm said he's feeling better and should be back on the ice soon.

I would not expect it to be tomorrow night against Detroit. Sturm has not been skating and I would expect he would miss his sixth straight game tomorrow night.



Bergeron Knicked Up
From Boston.com--
Patrice Bergeron, the team's best face off man, didn't take a single draw for the first time this season. Bergeron took only two face offs against Buffalo on Wednesday. Bergeron suffered an injury against Montreal that has prevented him from taking face offs in the last two matches, but Julien declined to disclose the ailment. Julien said Bergeron (20 shifts, 18:53 of ice time) is good to go in all other areas of the game.
