Bruins recall two, put Lucic on IR; Goal scorer all the Bruins want for Christmas?

It was an off day for the Bruins, but there was still a lot of action off the ice.

First off, the Bruins delivered the toys they purchased earlier this month for their annual toy drive for children.


The Bruins made a few roster moves today also. Boston recalled defenseman Adam McQuaid and Andy Wozniewski from Providence on an emergency basis.

To make room for the two blue liners, Boston placed Milan Lucic on injured reserve. The move would make Milan Lucic ineligable to return before the December 23rd game against the Atlanta Thrashers.

As I previously reported, Milan Lucic could make his return on their Florida trip, December 27 and 28.

Earlier today the Boston Herald published quotes from head coach, Claude Juilen from after last night's loss to the Flyers.

"We're going to have to do something," coach Claude Julien told the Herald. "Savvy is a guy who should lead our team in points. Somehow you've got to get him some guys who can put the puck in the net. And right now we've got a lot of guys who are probably not consistent in that area."

A source told me that Peter Chiarelli has called Don Maloney about Peter Mueller. Mueller was drafted back in 2007, and at 19 years old, broke into the league and scored 22 goals in 2007-2008. However, this season Mueller is having problems in Phoenix and has only one goal in 28 games.

I was also told, don't expect anything to come from this. However, I can say that the Bruins are calling teams about available goal scorers.


I would also tell people out there to get the Ilya Kovalchuk idea out of their heads. Boston has said they will not deal their first round picks for a player. Also, Kovalchuk doesn't play any defense, and that is something that Julien needs in his system.

Stay tuned with this though. You could very well see the Bruins kick the tires until the trade deadline and then pull the trigger on a sniper. After all they do have a lot of ammo in terms of young talent and picks to trade for a star.
