Marc Savard Practices With Vladimir Sobotka, Michael Ryder On Bruins’ Third Line

WILMINGTON, Mass. — The Bruins held their first practice Wednesday since advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The B’s don’t know who they will play yet in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Flyers or Penguins, but they do know they will have star center Marc Savard back in the lineup. The crafty pivot skated on a line with Vladimir Sobotka and Michael Ryder at Ristuccia Arena. Blake Wheeler moved down to the fourth line with Steve Begin and Daniel Paille, while Shawn Thornton skated with the healthy scratches.
