Bruins McQuaid Cleared To Play Against Montreal
BOSTON (CBS) – The Boston Bruins are hoping to have defenseman Adam McQuaid back when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.
"He's been cleared to go so we'll have seven D's out there tonight [for warm-ups]," said Bruins coach Claude Julien at the team's morning skate. "The possibility of him playing is probably very good."

McQuaid suffered a neck injury a week ago in Boston's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes, and Julien would welcome his return for such a big game.
"He's a very, very physical player, great at winning battles in the corners and when he's on top of his game he makes a good first pass, keeps his game simple but very effective," said Julien. "That's what Adam's brought to this team and that's why Adam was a big part of us winning last year; because he brought that night in, night out. He's certainly not a guy that is being overlooked because of his style."
