Rich Peverley logged 13:42 of ice time in his return to Boston's lineup Saturday night in Game 2.

The Bruins are still waiting to get some offense out of their third line, which has been sore spot for the club all year. The thought was that Jaromir Jagr would help add some scoring punch alongside Peverley and Chris Kelly, but that is yet to happen. Jagr, Peverley, Kelly and Kaspars Daugavins, who played instead of Peverley in Game 1 against Toronto, don't have a point in Boston's first-round series.

There is no word yet as to whether Rich Peverley will draw back into the Bruin lineup for Game 2 against Toronto Saturday night.

He was a healthy scratch for Boston's convincing 4-1 win in Game 1. That said, he was practising on the Bruins' third line during scrimmages Friday. We suspect Peverley will sit out another game but may get a chance when the series moves to Toronto.

Peverley had six goals and 12 assists in 47 games this year.

Rich Peverley joined Kaspars Daugavins, Jaromir Jar and Chris Kelly on the third line for Wednesday's morning skate.

Daugavins took the first shift which suggests he'll play and Peverley would sit as a healthy scratch in Game 1.

Rich Peverley's presence on the fifth line during Tuesday's practice raised some eyebrows, but coach Claude Julien hasn't committed to his lineup yet for Wednesday night's playoff opener.

Peverley could be made a healthy scratch for Game 1, but Julien expects to get back to relying on him at some point in the series. "There's no doubt, when he looks at his stats, it's disappointing. We all know that Pevs is a better player than he's shown," Julien said. "But I think he's been getting better lately and skating a lot better than he has all year. . . . We certainly have hopes of him being a good player for us in the playoffs." He has also been a decent postseason performer in his career while picking up 19 points in 38 contests.

It looks like Peverley will be a healthy scratch for tomorrow's tilt with the Maple Leafs. He had just one goal, one assist and a minus-1 in his last nine regular season games.

Rich Peverley ended his seven-game pointless slump on Saturday.

Peverley recorded an assist in the second period and finished the game with a plus-two rating. He also was charged with a tripping penalty in the third period, which helped most fantasy owners, but ultimately cost the Bruins the lead in their eventual 3-2 overtime loss.
