Boston Bruins head coach Don Sweeney says forwards Rick Nash and Riley Nash could both be ready to return to the lineup for Thursday's Game 1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
“All working that way - hopefully they’ll all be available,” Sweeney told the media on Monday.
Rick Nash, 33, missed the last 12 games of the regular season with a concussion suffered on March 17. He's scored three goals and three assists over 11 games with the Bruins this season after they picked him up from the New York Rangers in early February.
Riley Nash was back on the ice for the first time on Monday after missing the last five games with an ear laceration. The 28-year-old has 15 goals and 26 assists over 76 games with the Bruins this season.
Sean Kuraly, who has missed seven consecutive games with an upper-body injury, could also be ready for Game 1, according to Sweeney.
