Phil Kessel will miss his third consecutive game with an undisclosed injury tonight when the Bruins take on the Lightning at TD Banknorth Garden.
Coach Claude Julien said Kessel is expected to resume practicing later in the week and get back in the lineup next week.
It is suspected that it?s a shoulder injury that?s keeping Kessel sidelined, but Julien wasn?t even giving up the vicinity of the injury.
?It?s our job to protect guys,? said Julien with a grin, ?and it?s your job to expose them.??.
Manny Fernandez was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, indicating he?ll play again tonight. Julien has said that he?s going to at least try to get Fernandez on track.
