Morning Skate: On the shelf

Happy Monday, folks!

The good news — we have plenty of practice at filling time between Bruins games!

Earlier in the season, we whined and moaned about the silly scheduling that left us with too many off days between games, and now we’ve got a whole week to kill again!

The earliest the Bruins will return to action will be a week from today against the Penguins, though that assumes there’s no further COVID-related action from the league.

The NHL and the NHLPA announced in a joint statement on Sunday that they’re both committed to carrying on with the regular season schedule, the same day the league announced that another team (the Detroit Red Wings) would be shut down through the Christmas break.
