At this stage of the year, everything can be used as a lesson. For instance, how the Bruins respond to being without defensemen Zdeno Chara (sore hamstring) and Milan Jurcina (elbow contusion) and top-line wing Marco Sturm (chest cold).

The battle for playoff position in Hockey East is heating up, with just four weeks left in the season, and UMass-Lowell and Boston University entered last night's game at Agganis Arena hoping to gain ground. When it was over, the River Hawks had more reasons to feel good about the 4-4 score.

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 ...

By all rights, Milan Lucic should have been spending today preparing for a Western Hockey League tilt against Tri-City. Or at least relaxing in his Charlestown apartment with roommate Mark Stuart , while Zdeno Chara , Marc Savard , and Tim Thomas traveled to Atlanta for the All-Star Game.

Well, yes, there are worse things than a lockout. In the midst of the NHL's self-imposed two-hander over the head (now day No. 66 on what appears the fast track to infinity), a couple of Bruins prospects turned their opportunity to play in Providence into their final days in the Boston organization.

NEW YORK - With 44 seconds left in his work for the afternoon, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas wheeled around in his crease and attacked the crossbar. A passerby might have thought he was trying to take a piece of Manhattan home as a souvenir.

WILMINGTON - Approximately 13 hours after the Canadiens finished kicking in their teeth with an 8-2 thumping at the Bell Centre, the Bruins were back at Ristuccia Arena yesterday, aiming to wipe out the humiliation from their memory banks.

Instead of preparing to face the Avalanche tonight in Colorado in their second game of the season, the Bruins remain spread over the four corners of the world, with no end in sight to the labor strife between owners and players. Defenseman Hal Gill, who is the union player representative for Boston, would be on the sidelines if the season ...

The Bruins' road to a postseason berth remains steep, but it would be more difficult today if two other teams also struggling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference hadn't also squandered points last night.
