Bruins defenseman Nick Boynton, who signed a one-year deal with the club this morning, will join the team in Ottawa tomorrow. He will begin practicing, but coach Mike Sullivan wasn't sure when Boynton will be in the lineup. After Saturday's game in Ottawa, the Bruins face the Canadiens in Montreal on Tuesday before returning to the Garden to host Buffalo on Thursday.
"Obviously, we are thrilled to have him," said Sullivan. "He is going to be a big ingredient in helping us win. We are a better team with him in our lineup and we are excited it was resolved."
"We'll get a gauge of where he is at [physically]," added Sullivan. "Obviously, like all of our players, we want to put him in a position so he can be successful and help our team win. We will have a better feel for where he is at once we get him into practice. We obviously want him back in our lineup as quickly he can."
