BOSTON — The answer was brief but all I needed.

When asked if he got “good news” Bruins center Marc Savard responded: “Yep.”

Moments before, Savard received a loud pat on the back from Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, who was grinning ear to ear. While there’s be no official confirmation, Savard must have received clearance after his second neuropsych test today.

Prior to tonight’s game, the Bruins had not received the results of the test. More later.
