Report: Huge update on Backes' health

The Boston Bruins are among a select few teams that have been absolutely ravaged by injuries this season.

Brad Marchand has been in and out as of late, with him returning to practice today, albeit in a non-practice jersey. A couple other players are missing from practice.

As for David Backes, who recently had a part of his colon surgically removed, he practiced for the first time without a non-contact jersey.

The Bruins have won 4 straight and the imminent return of Backes, and hopefully Marchand, will only keep the good times rolling in B's land.
