As soon as we thought we could see the light at the end of our injury tunnel, the hockey gods shook their heads and gave us a few more to cope with. Here's an updated list of our injured and their conditions.
1. Chris Kelly, broken right ankle: Kelly has been skating for a few weeks now but today was the first day he joined the team for practice since December 7th when he sustained the injury. He has not been cleared for contact but Coach says Kelly will make the trip with the team when we play the Flyers on Saturday. Coach also said he hopes Kelly will be back within the week.
Update 1/24: Chris Kelly has been cleared for contact today. Coach says it is unclear whether or not he will play in tomorrow's game or if he will need a bit more practice time. But it's good news for the Bruins!
