The injury-plagued Boston Bruins had two things to hang their hat on in Arizona Saturday night. The first was their 2-1 victory over the Coyotes. The second was avoiding the injury bug — despite Steven Kampfer going down the tunnel in the first period — albeit briefly.
The Bruins should get some help on the back end soon with Kevan Miller’s possible return Wednesday in Detroit. Fellow defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Urho Vaakanainen joined the team in the Motor City for Tuesday’s practice. Neither will play against the Red Wings, but both could return as soon as this weekend.
