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.
