Chris Bourque expected to make Bruins roster

WILMINGTON — All NHL clubs must finalize their 23-man rosters by 3 p.m. Friday, but Thursday’s moves by the Bruins virtually guarantee that another Bourque will have his name on a Black-and-Gold sweater for Saturday night’s season opener against the Rangers at the Garden.

Chris Bourque, the eldest son (27 this month) of team icon Ray Bourque, appears to have landed the left wing spot on a line with veterans Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley.

Best of luck to Chris and the entire Bruin organization this season. Great job by the Jacobs, Cam Neely, Don Sweeney, Peter Chiarelli and Claude Julien putting this team together.

 Recchi hired by Dallas for a hockey operations job?  I would have liked the B's to have kept him in their system.
