Don't look now, but the Boston Bruins are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They have won eight out of nine games and sit alone in first place in the Atlantic Division after beating the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Saturday night.
While that is all well and good, first-year head coach Marco Sturm is starting to see injuries build up. Against the Canadiens, Sturm lost defenseman Charlie McAvoy, who took a shot to the face in the second period off a deflection, and forward Viktor Arvidsson, who left in the third period with a lower-body injury.
