BOSTON - Staying healthy is no easy feat during an 82-game campaign. As the regular season shifts into its final stages, the Bruins' lineup finds itself without a few familiar faces.
Injuries are not a foreign concept to many teams in the NHL at this point in the year, in fact, they have become almost an integral part of the game. While the lengthy season begins to take its inevitable toll on players, it's not uncommon to witness a bit of a juggling act among line combinations and defensive pairings. However, this is also where opportunity presents itself - especially for defenseman Connor Clifton.
