- Joe McDonald of ESPN: Injured Bruins defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden practiced yesterday and travel with the team to New York.
“Whether it’s next game or not, we’ll see how he feels ,” Julien said of Seidenberg.
“Not too bad,” Redden said. “It’s day-to-day still. I’ve got to talk with and see where we’re at, but it’s progressing good.”
Their other injured defenseman, Andrew Ference, doesn’t look as lucky. He was seen last week wearing a walking boot.
- Mike Mazzeo of ESPN: Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist injured his shoulder in the 3rd period in Game 2 on Sunday.
“Yeah, it’s under control,” Lundqvist said after practice Monday. “I landed on the ice awkwardly and hurt it a little bit. It’s under control.
“Everybody’s sore. It’s the playoffs. You can’t just sit out because it’s hurting a little bit. It happens and you just have to make sure you do the right things to make it good.”
- Erin Nicks of NHL.com: Senators Jason Spezza played his first game since Jan. 27th on Sunday and seems to be feeling no ill effects.
“I feel good,” Spezza said Monday. “To play a double-overtime game and coming out no worse for wear is definitely positive for me and encouraging that I made the right decision . I took a pretty good pounding and played more than we had initially planned, but it’s all positive and I hope to get even better as we go on.”
- Helene Elliott: The Ducks said that defenseman Francois Beauchemin had surgery to repair his ACL. Surgery went well and he hopes to be ready for next season.
