The Boston Bruins got some good news on the injury front this weekend. Torey Krug returned against the Minnesota Wild and showed no rust. Also, David Backes started to skate with his teammates for the first time in three weeks.
Backes, if you recall, has been out of the lineup since November 2. That night, he left the game against the Ottawa Senators early after a scary collision with Scott Sabourin.
The Bruins said Backes was out with an upper-body injury, but it was pretty clear he had a concussion.
