Andrej Meszaros is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston after being scratched several times and battling through injuries during his tenure with the Philadelphia Flyers this season. "It was tough with the injuries, but being healthy this year and not playing was really tough," Meszaros said. "Now I feel strong and I feel pretty good. I can skate pretty good and join the rush and obviously have to be good defensively because defense is first, and then the offense will come obviously and hopefully I can help the guys up front and score some goals." Knowing former Ottawa teammates Zdeno Chara and Chris Kelly should help him out in the locker room as well. Meszaros was acquired to add some depth to Boston's back end at the trade deadline.
