Bruins’ Mark Stuart Back On Shelf
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 2nd, 2010
So much for the Bruins having a full, healthy team.
In one of the better games of their recent skid, the B’s lost defenseman Mark Stuart to a broken pinkie on his right hand in Saturday’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Stuart was operated on yesterday and will be lost until after the Olympic break.
“The last couple of games I thought (Stuart) was playing some of his best hockey, and we liked his game. Unfortunately, you lose him for 3-4 weeks,” said B’s coach Claude Julien, who just got Marc Savard, Marco Sturm and Steve Begin back from injuries. “It’s the second major injury for him, a guy who’s been as reliable as you can find as far as health issues are concerned until this year.”
Stuart, who suffered a broken sternum earlier in the season, got hurt in one of the turning points of the loss to the Kings. Early in the second period, LA defenseman Peter Harrold sent a breakout pass to Anze Kopitar, and Stuart blasted the Kings’ top scorer. Wayne Simmonds immediately went after Stuart, and the B’s defenseman eagerly obliged.
