Bruins get a big boost for game 7 with two potential players back
Puck drop for Game 7 between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs is just hours away. With the game drawing near a new report has indicated that the Boston Bruins could be getting reinforcements from previously injured players in Game 7.
During this first-round series, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins have dealt with many injured players. Today the Bruins got some positive injury news as both defenseman Andrew Peeke and forward Danton Heinen returned to practice.

The Bruins were hoping to have both players back at some point during their playoff run. It sounds as though tonight Danton Heinen could return while Andrew Peeke is more likely a second round return candidate if the Bruins were to win tonight.
Both Andrew Peeke(seen here) and Danton Heinen took part in the #NHLBruins AM Skate - Peeke won't play, but Heinen is a possibility.
Danton Heinen is a veteran forward that has been a part of several deep playoff runs with the Boston Bruins in the past. His presence in the lineup and in the locker room for Game 7 could provide the Bruins with a big boost.
With Game 7 just a few hours away we will have to wait and see if Danton Heinen joins the Bruins for warmups and if so does he look ready to play in a must-win game.
