Questions surround Bruins: Ward back within a week? Sturm or Nokey? Lashoff or Boychuk?

The Bruins are on their way to Florida while we are in for a few days with highs in the 30's. Talk about a good time to head south.
*Aaron Ward is said to have a sprained ankle and was seen walking around the room without his walking boot. It is said that Ward is progressing with his injury and he could return as soon as next Wednesday in Washington.Claude Julien did say that Ward could start skating again by Sunday.

*Marco Sturm's status for the game tomorrow night is still in question. Claude Julien said he will make up his mind during tomorrow's morning skate. If he isn't ready to go Petteri Nokelainen will skate on the fourth line instead of Sturm.

*A last note out of today's practice is that coach Julien has not decided whether Matt Lashoff or Johnny Boychuk will get the call tomorrow. My instincts tell me it will be Boychuk but the verdict is still out. We'll probably find out tomorrow afternoon as well.

*One final note, Glen Murray's grievance hearing is scheduled to take place in Toronto on Dec. 16. Oh yes, old friend Glen Murray and his chance to get more money before he admits that he is over the hill. As a refresher, Murray is claiming the Bruins improperly bought him out because of an existing ankle injury.
