It seems that the undisclosed injury that has kept Tim Thomas out of the Bruins lineup could possibly be a broken right hand, according to NESN.com.
Last year’s Vezina trophy winner has a 5-6 record this season with three shutouts and a .918 save percentage. Thomas was playing well for the Bruins despite his losing record. He kept the team in games they had no business winning, but in the end the Bruins couldn’t score goals.
The word broken can leave a bad taste in your mouth, but it seems the injury isn’t as serious as it sounds. Thomas is still listed as day-to-day.
“It’s one of those injuries that we have to allow him to get better,” coach Claude Julien told The Boston Globe on Tuesday. “Yet it could be something that could be cured on a day-to-day basis.”
Tuukka Rask will continue to get starts until Thomas is ready to go.
