Dougie Hamilton will officially be heading back to Boston to be checked out for the lower-body injury he suffered during tonight's game.
Dougie (lower-body injury) flying home tomorrow to be evaluated. CJ: "diagnosis on him was that he's probably done for at least a week" ^CS

On the happier side, apparently Kevan Miller's injury is minor.
Providence source tells me he's heard Miller is doing OK, so that's good news

The fact that Johnny Boychuk might be good to go for Tuesday is fantastic news - it'd be 100% preferable to have him in the lineup over a guy like David Warsofsky, However, it might be prudent for the Bruins to call up Warsofsky anyways just to have a seventh defenseman around for this lengthy trip; with the way things are going, you never know what'll happen.
