Panic was beginning to set in in Boston - with the news that Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Kevin Millar, and Adam McQuaid were all absent from practice this morning.
Luckily, head coach Bruce Cassidy gave an update on the absentees.
After posting a spectacular 4 points in his 2017-18 debut, Bergeron's absence this morning was a cause for concern, but by all appearances he should be okay. Krejci, another key component of this lineup who didn't finish the game Thursday night against the Vancouver Canucks, also seems to be okay.
With Tuukka Rask and Ryan Spooner both out long term, this could've been an unmitigated disaster.
