Bruins and Senators pre-game notes


Tim Thomas will get the start in goal tonight for the Bruins, while Brian Elliott will start for the Senators.

Miro Satan will make his Boston debut tonight, replacing Patrice Bergeron (thumb). Bergeron suffered the injury in last night's loss to New York, and has returned to Boston to see a thumb specialist. No word on how long Bergeron will be out.

I am a little surprised Milan Lucic is not making his return tonight instead of Satan. Lucic suffered a 4-6 week injury and tomorrow is the six week mark.

Boston is clearly being careful with Lucic and may hold him out until this weekend for the rematch with the Rangers.

Faceoff is scheduled for 7:30, and will mark the beginning of the Satan era. Satan is expected to skate with Blake Wheeler and David Krejci.


UPDATE: ESPN Boston is reporting that #Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, who injured his thumb in Monday's 3-2 loss to New York will miss 2-6 weeks.
