Today's practice note:
Phil Kessel was on the ice for the morning skate. Kessel sat out yesterday's practice because of a swollen left elbow.

It was an optional skate this morning, however, Kessel and hit line mates (Savard, Lucic) took part in the skate to get their timing down.

The Bruins are one for one in shutting down Eric Staal in the series. No easy task, as Mark Recchi will tell you.

"You are just trying to limit as much as possible, said Recchi. He's too good a player to stop him. You just try to control him and hope he doesn't take over the game."

Staal has not recorded a point in five games this season against Boston.
