Aaron Ward said he was as nervous as a rookie before last night's game at TD Banknorth Garden. The veteran Bruins defenseman hadn't played since Dec. 20, missing eight games with a broken left foot. And for his return to the lineup, the sputtering Bruins faced the Montreal Canadiens, not only a bitter rival, but a team that had beaten ...

Dave Lewis had no explanation. The first-year Bruins coach didn't know why, despite an avalanche of a first period that saw the Montreal Canadiens send 14 shots -- most of them grade-A opportunities -- on Tim Thomas, Lewis's team held a one-goal lead.

Playing was the thing yesterday. After four games in six nights, punctuated by a 3-1 loss to the Devils in front of a storm-sapped crowd of perhaps 3,500 at TD Banknorth Garden Thursday night, the Bruins held an optional skate yesterday at Ristuccia Arena. Only a handful of players, most recovering from injuries, skated. Tuukka Rask joined Tim ...

They have a little confidence, and that alone is an improvement for the Bruins. For slightly over a month now, they've played like a team intent on making the playoffs, going 10-4-1 (.700), and outscoring their opponents, 47-41, over the last 15 games.

The Bruins begin their longest road trip of the season tonight on Long Island, riding high after Tuesday's 3-0 shutout of the Oilers, their fourth victory in five games. The Bruins are 8 points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 27 games remaining.

With two minutes remaining in regulation last night, the Bruins trailed by one goal and were approaching the point when goalie Tim Thomas would be pulled for an extra attacker.

When the Bruins filed into their dressing room after the second period, a 20-minute span during which they were outshot by Tampa Bay, 15-3, they found somebody waiting for them.

There was not a lot happening until the shootout. The Bruins and New York Islanders wandered across the TD Banknorth Garden ice last night, looking perhaps for a signpost or a grinning Cheshire cat to point the way. Certainly no one on the ice was breaking a path. After regulation and five minutes of overtime, the teams' erratic efforts had ...
