Benoit Pouliot has declared himself fit to return to Boston's lineup from a lower-body injury. "I tried everything I could out there," he said after Wednesday's practice. "It feels good. Personally, for me I'm aiming for (Thursday). It's (coach Claude Julien's) decision, but if he asks me if I'm ready to go, I feel great." Pouliot has sat out the past three games with the undisclosed ailment.
