Bruins forward Marc Savard has been cleared to rejoin the team, but it's unlikely that he'll play in the first round. "For me to stand here and predict he's going to be back at this stage would be unrealistic, so we're just going to go day-by-day with him and if he gets better sooner, great," coach Claude Julien said. "We're still working on getting him in shape right now and doing the things we're told to do with him and that's where we're at." Savard has skated three consecutive days in order to get himself back in game shape. He missed six weeks due to a Grade 2 concussion.
