WILMINGTON, Mass. — A large contingent of Boston Bruins — including goaltender Tim Thomas and defenseman Zdeno Chara, who are back from their media tour in New York — are scrimmaging at Ristuccia Arena this morning.

This should be the final day of informal practices because the players will be put through some grueling testing Saturday on the first official day of camp. They’re not scheduled to have a formal, on-ice practice until Sunday at TD Banknorth Garden (which will be open to the public).
