Bruins Nation

Update: The Bruins lost a heart-breaker 4-3. I'll have the game summary up soon

Bad news coming out of Minneapolis: Chuck Kobasew has fractured his ankle. If I had to guess I'd say he will be out for 3-4 weeks.

He will obviously not be available for tonight's game against the Minnesota Wild. The game is at 8:30 and will be NESN's first regular season game of the year. Without Kobasew, tonight's lines will probably be:

Axelsson-Savard-Ryder
Sturm-Bergeron-Kessel
Wheeler-Krejci-Nokelainen
Lucic-Yelle-Thornton

Chara-Ward
Ference-Wideman
Stuart-Hnidy

Fernandez
Thomas

My guess is that Fernandez will start. Thomas was great, but Julien will probably be trying both of them out early in the season.

Also, right now the Northeast division is the only division whose teams all have at least one point.
