BOSTON -- Bruins coach Claude Julien announced on Tuesday that defenseman Adam McQuaid suffered a "sprained neck" in their Game 2 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
McQuaid went to put a hit on Mike Richards inside the Bruins' zone, but Richards got out of the way just before contact was made, and McQuaid fell head-first into the boards.
"Everything, so far, has come out negative, so he's going to be a day-to-day player right now," said Julien.
If McQuaid does have to miss some time, it looks as if Shane Hnidy would be McQuaid's immediate replacement. Julien also announced on Tuesday that rookie defenseman Steve Kampfer isn't quite ready to return, even though he began skating today, after suffering a knee injury last month while in Providence.
"He's going to be a while," said Julien.
