Bruins injury update

Here's an update on the Bruins' injury situation entering tonight's game at Notre Dame.

Austin Yano is back in the lineup after recovering from his groin injury, giving the Bruins six healthy defencemen. The D pairings will likely look like this:

Kauk-Yano
Perrault-Soper
Bartel-Boesch

Matt Dochylo is over the flu and will also return to the lineup. That's a huge boost for a Bruins team that is still missing their captain.

Eric Baldwin is out with an upper-body injury suffered Saturday that could keep him out for the weekend as well. The Bruins have called up Stoughton forward Dayton Picard from the Moose Jaw Generals to take his place.

The 17-year-old centre is third on the Generals in scoring with nine goals and 18 points through 15 games. He'll most likely be on next year's team so it's a good chance for the Bruins to see him in game action.

Also, Josh Jelinski and Connor Milligan skated today but there is no timetable set for their return.
