Miroslav Satan took some extra work after the Bruins optional morning skate, but it looks like he’ll be out again tonight as the Bruins face the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre
“Some days it’s better, some days it’s worse,” said Satan. “I’ve had it for a couple of weeks and it’s not getting better, so hopefully this rest will help it.”
Brad Marchand will be back in for the B’s.

Miroslav Satan is a late scratch with a groin injury. Brad Marchand will skate in his place.

Marc Savard visited neuro-psych specialist Dr. Kelly McInnis today and, as he’s still experiencing a plethora of symptoms from his Grade 2 concussion (dizziness, headaches, light senstivity, imbalance, etc.), it’s looking more and more like he’ll be lost for the season.
“It confirmed that he hasn’t had any improvement. Its not certain that he’ll miss the season, but it’s up there as far as being probable,” said GM Peter Chiarelli tonight.
Meanwhile, the Penguins’ Matt Cooke will be suiting up in Carolina against the Hurricanes tonight.
“I guess i’m still in denial (that he didn’t get suspended),” said Chiarelli wearily.

Bruins fans and players received backing from an unlikely source today — a day after the NHL decided not to suspend Penguins forward Matt Cooke for his hit on B’s center Marc Savard. Savard suffered a grade-2 concussion after Sunday’s blindside hit.

Cooke’s teammate — and former Bruin — Bill Guerin said that there is no place in hockey for hits like Cooke’s.

Guerin said he had expected that Cooke would be suspended.

“If a guy gets hurt like that with a shot to the head, there’s got to be something,” Guerin told Pittsburgh reporters. “Actions happen. Guys don’t mean to hurt each other, but they do. You got to pay a price for that.”

Guerin said he feels that players need to know they won’t be susceptible to hits to the head while playing all-out.

“We’re all under the same umbrella, whether the guy’s on my team and I’m sitting right next to him or he’s playing in California,” Guerin said. “It doesn’t matter. We’re all playing in the same league. We all want the same safety. We all want to be looked after the same way. I understand he (Cooke) is on my team but, hey, he’s in a tough spot.”

TSN.ca is reporting that the NHL is not going to suspend the Penguins’ Matt Cooke for the blindside hit that very well may knock Marc Savard out for the season.
