Will Any Injured Bruins Players Make a Comeback Prior to the Playoffs?

The Bruins have been missing crucial players due to injuries for some time, but is it possible for any of them to return during the regular season?

Taylor Hall (LTIR), Nick Foligno (IR), and Derek Forbort (IR) have been sidelined for at least 10 games. Surprisingly - well kind of - Boston boasts a 9-1-0 record during that span, which is in big thanks to their impressive depth.

Nevertheless, Scott McLaughlin from WEEI recently suggested that it isn't far-fetched for at least two of these players to be ready in the upcoming days:

''It doesn't seem out of the question that one or both could get back into the lineup at some point over this final week and a half of the regular season. There are ways for the Bruins to make the financials work if they want to activate Hall off long-term injured reserve.�'

However, McLaughlin also pointed out that this move could impact the lineup, as it would undoubtedly push out some players who have been performing well.

''That would presumably bump Trent Frederic down to the fourth line and send both Jakub Lauko and A.J. Greer to the bench. And then who else sits once Foligno, a fourth-line mainstay all season when he was healthy, is ready?�'

With only five games left, head coach Jim Montgomery faces a pleasant dilemma concerning his lineup but has limited time to make a decision.
