The Boston Bruins are in the middle of the pack. They currently have a 25-20-6 record and have the top wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference standings. However, they are far from being in a comfortable place,

The Bruins defenseman has been working his way back from a lower-body injury suffered Nov. 12 in St. Louis with lots of off-ice rehab sessions and, lately, some solo on-ice workouts with skills coach John McLean.
