Winger Loui Eriksson - playing defense with partner Shawn Thornton - took part in a competitive 3-on-2 down-low drill in the Boston Bruins' practice on Friday. But Eriksson (concussion) is not yet cleared for contact. Interestingly, Thornton reminded people that he played a lot of defense in his junior and AHL years, and even in one NHL game with Chicago. "Me and Loui didn't get scored on," Thornton said with a laugh.
