Andrew Ference (lower body) was able to skate on Monday. Ference, who is believed to be dealing with a foot injury, resumed skating over the weekend. Bruins coach Claude Julien isn't ready to say that Ference will be available for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, but clearly Ference is progressing. That being said, with the rise of defensemen Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug, there's a chance that Ference will be a healthy scratch once he's available.
