WILMINGTON, Mass. — The Bruins held an off-ice workout today at Ristuccia Arena, instead of practicing on the ice the morning after their most heartbreaking loss of the season in Pittsburgh.

Only healthy scratches Johnny Boychuk and Trent Whitfield, rehabbing forward Milan Lucic , rookie Brad Marchand and backup goaltender Tuukka Rask took the ice with goaltending coach Bob Essensa and assistant coach Doug Houda.

The highlight of the on-ice session was  Marchand going down like a pile of bricks when he tried to take the ice with a skate guard still on.
