Huge update from Bruins forward Nick Foligno.
The physical Bruins forward spoke to the media on Saturday and had some good news to share.
The Boston Bruins were the National Hockey League's best team in the 2022-23 regular season and, unfortunately for their opposition in the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs, it sounds like everything is starting to line up for the Bruins as they head into those playoffs.
Injured Bruins forward Nick Foligno has provided a huge update on his status as far as the playoffs are concerned, indicating that he would be ready to go immediately. There was the expectation that Foligno would return at some point during the playoffs, but for him to return so quickly is a huge boon for the Bruins.
Foligno has been working hard to get healthy and last week even joked about the fact that he might make a few threats to make sure he was ready for the first round.
"I'm gonna try my hardest and probably throw some threats at people if not," joked the veteran forward.
On Saturday, Foligno appeared to confirm that those threats were successful, hinting at the fact that he will be back in Game 1.
"I think I've made all the threats I need to make to everybody. So hopefully that did the trick and I'll be back for Game 1," joked Foligno once again.
There is still some concern around the status of Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron, but other than that everything is lining up for the Bruins.
