Bosotn Bruins Recall Anton Blidh
Don Sweeney announced earlier today that the Boston Bruins are recalling forward Anton Blidh from the baby Bruins. Blidh practiced with the team today and is expected to travel with them to Buffalo. This will be the first time that Blidh has been called up.
Anton Blidh: "First time I’ve been called up, so I’m happy. Just play simple, play my own game, be hard on the puck, and bring some energy."

Anton is currently in his second season with the PB’s. He has played in 19 games this season, with 5 goals and four assists totaling 9 points. He is a plus eight. Blidh (21) has played in 65 games last season, and tallied 10 goals, four assists for 14 points.

Before he was in Providence Blidh in the Swedish Hockey League for Frolunda HC. He had 10 points in 72 games. Blidh also represented Sweden’s national team in the 2015 World Junior Championships. There he had one goal and two assists. He was selected by the Bruins in the sixth round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Julien on Anton Blidh: "He's playing well. Works hard. We'll get to see him tomorrow hopefully."

Noel Acciari was at practice today
Forward Noel Acciari was back to practice today. He was skating on the fourth line with Blidh, Dominic Moore, and Jimmy Hayes.
Before the injury to Acciari he appeared in 12 games with the B’s. He had 2 assists, and was a plus one.
Acciari is the type of player that the Bruins need right now he may not be that big while only standing at 5’10” but he weighs in at 208 lb. He brings the grit that the team needs to in certain situations. He is an excellent skater and is very difficult to knock off the puck. There is a scene from behind the B where an opposing player makes a comment that Acciari is very hard to move when he is in front of the net. I believe it is from the latest episode.
Patrice Bergeron not at practice today.
Bergeron was not at practice today. Claude says that he is fine.
Julien says Bergeron (no injury) will make the trip to Buffalo this afternoon. Chara and Acciari not traveling.
