We’ll find out Saturday night after the puck drops whether the Bruins’ all-out outstanding performance in Philadelphia Thursday was a one-night eruption brought on by general manager Peter Chiarelli’s pregame speech and the news that center Marc Savard will probably miss the season, or if it was the start of the Bruins’ resurgence as one of the hardest-working teams in the NHL.

Head coach Claude Julien was asked in Montreal this morning about his team trying to balance playing harder in Savard’s absence with not stepping over the line.

“Last game we showed that we’re in control of our emotions. We played a solid game for 60 minutes and that’s what we need from here on in,” he told the media after Boston’s morning skate.

Julien also added that Miroslav Satan, out the last game with a groin injury, would be a game-time decision. If Satan can’t play, Brad Marchand would probably be back in the lineup. Fluto Shinzawa at Boston.com reported that Satan and goaltender Tim Thomas stayed on the ice well beyond the end of the morning skate, so expect Satan to be out and Tuukka Rask to start in net.
