Chris Kelly RUMORS & NEWS

Boston Herald "Claude Julien couldn’t have been blamed if he wanted to change his entire team after the first period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final last night. It might have been the most wretched 20 minutes of hockey the Bruins have played in this postseason. It was right there, in fact, with the worst..." June 16

CSN New England "Sidney Crosby has been utterly shut down in two games of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston. He is scoreless in each of the first two games, and has exhibited frustration while turning pucks over at an uncharacteristically high rate since his little scuffle with Zdeno Chara at the end..." June 05

CSN New England "Most of the Bruins had little or no idea that the New York Rangers planned on sitting Brad Richards as a healthy scratch for Game 4 on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, and none knew that tough guy Arron Asham will also be watching from the MSG press box. But none of the Bruins players..." May 23

CSN New England "Just as they struggled during the regular season to find their game, their production and some way to really contribute to the Bruins team effort to win hockey games, the third line is again struggling for Boston in the playoffs. Whether it’s been Jaromir Jagr, Kaspars Daugavins or Tyler Seguin..." May 21

Boston Herald "Bruins center Chris Kelly returned to the lineup last night after missing a month with a broken tibia.

April 09

CSN New England "Chris Kelly took another encouraging step forward on Sunday as he slid back into his customary spot centering the third line, and had Tyler Seguin and Daniel Paille on either side of him.

Boston Herald "Unless something unexpected happens, Chris Kelly will make his return to the lineup tonight as the Bruins try to get back on the winning track against the fading Carolina Hurricanes, who have won just one game in their last 12 and are eight points out of a playoff spot. The Bruins held an..." April 08

Boston Herald "Even though a broken left tibia has all but ended his regular season, Bruins center Chris Kelly still seems ready to take a look on the bright side of life. The always sunny alternate captain, who was injured in a collision with Ottawa forward Chris Neil on Monday, is out indefinitely. Kelly..." March 16

Boston Globe "On Monday, in the town where he played most of his NHL games, Chris Kelly suffered the most significant injury of his career. The Bruins center broke his left tibia at 0:42 of the second period of the Bruins’ 3-2 shootout win over the Senators at Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place. Kelly is out..." March 14

Boston Globe "The Bruins’ third line had just found its rhythm.

March 13

Boston Globe "Chris Kelly is out indefinitely because of a broken left tibia. Kelly suffered the injury in the second period of Monday’s 3-2 shootout win over Ottawa.

CSN New England "The Bruins have been remarkably healthy this season, but that good fortune might have finally run out as the NHL schedule starts to get heavy for them.

CSN New England "Chris Kelly has a good sense of humor and is the ultimate team guy, so it was difficult to tell from the outside if going without a goal in the first 14 games of the season was gnawing at the third line center. Thankfully Kelly and the Bruins don’t have to worry about it anymore as the two-way..." February 25

Boston Herald "Goalscoring is not what defines Chris Kelly. The Bruins third line center is an astute two-way player who has a big hand in the B’s top-ranked penalty killing. But just the same, he wouldn’t mind getting goal sometime soon. Kelly, who notched his first 20-goal season last year that helped..." February 15

CSN New England "Perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to Chris Kelly was scoring 20 goals in his first full season with the Boston Bruins. It wasn’t that bad a deal for Kelly, of course. He can put 20-goal scorer down on his NHL resume for the rest of his career and it added a few dollars to his..." February 15
