The Bruins are optimistic about Nathan Horton's (concussion) chances of being ready for the regular season. "He said he's feeling a lot better and looking forward to next year," Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said of Horton. He hasn't played since Jan. 22 and, as is typically the case with concussions, there's no timetable for his return. He wasn't expected to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs, even if the Bruins advanced all the way to the finals.
