WILMINGTON, Mass. — Defensemen Dennis Wideman and Mark Stuart were the first two Bruins on the ice, about 10 minutes before the start of formal practice, this morning at Ristuccia Arena.

Along with assistant coach Doug Houda, Wideman and Stuart worked on passing from D to D and one-timing those passes on net.

The rest of the team joined the pair of blueliners as a whole and right on time.
