OK Bruins fans, we had a busy day of ups and downs so here we go.*Tuuka Rask was sent back to Providence this morning by the Bruins.
*The reason for that you may ask? Well, Manny Fernandez is said to be ready to get back on the bench. That is where you would expect Manny for Thursday's tilt against the Islanders. Fernandez was apparently suffering form back spasms. Fernandez said the two games he took off to rest helped a lot.
*Vladimir Sobotka has been recalled from Providence. Sobotka will look to crack the lineup during the two game road trip to New York and Washington. His best chance would be tomorrow as Milan Lucic is doubtful for tomorrow's game but may return Saturday night in Washington.
*With Sobotka coming up that means someone had to go down and the victim was Martins Karsums. Karsusms went back to Providence with Rask this morning.
*Matt Lashoff has been recalled by the Bruins and will play this week against both the Islanders and Capitals.
*The reason that Lashoff will play you may ask? It is because Aaron Ward, injured during last night's second period, will not travel with the team to Long Island and Washington. Right now the Bruins are saying about a week for Ward which would suggest he may miss the Bruins Monday matinee with the Blues also.
* Some injured Bruins making the trip will be Patrice Bergeron, Milan Lucic, and Andrew Ference. Lucic is the closest of the three to returning to the lineup and said tomorrow remains a possibility.
*Patrice Bergeron will make the trip but he will not play. So, what about Andrew Ference you may ask. Well, Ference who initially planned to make a mid January return is making the trip. He has been ruled out against the Islanders, but what about in Washington Saturday night. Saturday night is the 17th of January. I'd consider that mid January, wouldn't you?
