For the first time this season, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy had a full complement of players on the ice at the same time. Patrice Bergeron (ribs), Zdeno Chara (knee), Kevan Miller (throat), Jake DeBrusk (head) and Urho Vaakaninen (head) all rejoined their fellow teammates for Wednesday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena bringing them one step closer toward a return to the lineup.
None of the aforementioned injured players will take the ice for Thursday’s tilt with the Anaheim Ducks. But the group is more full and robust entering the 35th game of Boston’s 2018-19 season.
