Morris misses practice; Savard and Bruins close to extension?

Today the Bruins practiced in Wilmington, minus Derek Morris. Morris, was given a maintenance day by Claude Julien and will be back in the lineup tomorrow night against the Florida Panthers.

There was not much in terms of news today for the Bruins on the ice, but there were rumblings off the ice.

According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun and Scott Burnside, talks between Marc Savard's agent and the Boston Bruins are now going on every day as the two sides try to hammer out a deal to keep Savard in Boston.

The two are saying that a deal could be struck shortly, however, if nothing comes soon it may not come at all. The longer the Bruins wait, the more likely it will be for Savard to test the free agent waters come July 1.

Stay tuned.
