Looking for a win

Bitz

BOSTON — The Bruins, losers of three in a row, skated this morning at TD Garden in preparation for tonight’s game with Buffalo.

The full squad took the ice — 12 forwards, seven D and two goaltenders. Winger Mikko Lehtonen was demoted to Providence (AHL) yesterday afternoon. He scored twice for the P-Bruins last night. The cut down to the minimum amount of forwards means Byron Bitz is ready to return after three games out of the lineup with a groin injury.

Bitz practiced on a line with Steve Begin and Shawn Thornton.

Tuukka Rask was the first goaltender off for Boston, while Jhonas Enroth looks probable to be in the Sabres’ net.
