Boston Bruins: What’s the plan when John Moore returns from injury?

The Boston Bruins signed John Moore two summers ago to fill a spot on the left side of the defense. He proved valuable last season as a depth player, but he missed every game this year after offseason shoulder surgery.

Moore started to skate with the team earlier this month, and now he looks close to a return. Coach Bruce Cassidy said on Saturday morning that Moore and teammate David Backes will return soon.

#NHLBruins updates per Bruce Cassidy:

Brad Marchand had flu-like symptoms yesterday and today, played through it. Will see how he is tomorrow.

Patrice Bergeron is out tomorrow vs. Montreal. Still day to day.
