One day after saying the Canadiens "embellished" the extent of Max Pacioretty's injuries, Bruins veteran Mark Recchi clarified his comments following a Boston victory over Montreal on Thursday night, according to an ESPN.com report. Recchi said he wasn't trying to take a cheap shot at Pacioretty, who suffered a concussion and fractured vertebra March 8 when Zdeno Chara delivered a check that sent Pacioretty head-first into a stanchion at Montreal's Bell Centre. Recchi said he was taking one for his teammate Chara in an effort to deflect what the Bruins feel has been unwarranted criticism of their captain.
