Paille Injury Update

Boston Bruins skater Daniel Paille has been sidelined with a concussion for weeks now, and WEEI.com just reported that the 30-year-old forward will not appear in Game 5 of  the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Detroit Red Wings.

Paille has taken part in contact practice, and should return to game action fairly soon, according to head coach Claude Julien.
