Marian Hossa injury: Blackhawks F was not hurt during warm-up, says coach

Hossa was a game-time scratch for Game 3 on Monday night due to an undisclosed upper-body injury, but was considered day-to-day and “likely” to play in Game 4. The forward did not participate in practice Wednesday morning, but that apparently will not play a factor in his availability for the actual game because every member of the organization who commented about Hossa’s status after practice stated that he was expected to play.

Bruins head coach Claude Julien is expected to ice the same lineup as Game 3. And, considering the amount of success the Bruins have achieved with those combinations, it’s a wise decision by the Bruins’ bench boss.
