Update Regarding Injured David Backes.

The Boston Bruins are holding onto first place in the Atlantic Division and sometimes you have to say they're pretty lucky.�

While the Bruins' play has been exceptional, the team has dealt with injury problems since the start of the season.�

Good news today was that Patrice Bergeron will be playing tonight, but head coach Bruce Cassidy also announced that Brett Ritchie is sidelined again with an infection.�

The list of injured Bruins seems to be consistently featuring somebody and David Backes has been there for awhile.�

Backes has missed the last eight games after the incident with Scott�Sabourin but it looks like things might be turning around.�

The veteran forward was on the ice skating by himself in full gear today after team practice.

Still sounds like he's not ready, but he's at least trending up.�
