Loui Eriksson skated alongside projected linemates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron during Boston's first practice Thursday. "It felt pretty good," Bergeron said. "You can tell obviously that Loui's a great player. He's got some great speed and great skill. Very excited to have him with us. It's obviously the first practice, so we've got some work to do, but I thought it was pretty good and just fun to see those two guys on my side." Eriksson plays a strong two-way game, so he should be able to mesh nicely with Bergeron.
