MONTREALBruins third line center Chris Kelly was back at the Bell Centre in time for Thursdays morning skate, and will play in Game Four against the Canadiens at a pivotal point in the series. Tyler Seguin was skating long after his teammates had finished up their on-ice work, so it appears the 19-year-old rookie will once again sit and the Bruins will understandably stand pat after pulling out a win in Game 3.Kelly was sporting a full face cage during practice and a colorful bruise all around his right eye, but said he was fine to go in a Stanley Cup playoff situation. All tests in Boston went well, and Kelly said he was looking forward to helping the team make it two wins in a row.It didn't appear there were any fractures, but Kelly wasn't dealing in specifics with an injury during the postseason.Ive been given the green light and the doctors said everything is great, Kelly said. So Im going to go out and have fun. It was fine. It wasnt bad at all. It was a hockey play and part of the game. Scott GomezIve played against him for a lot of years. I think hes an honest player that works very hard.It appears Jeff Halpern will be replacing Benoit Pouliot in the Montreal lineup after the rangy Habs forward attempted to take Johnny Boychuks head off with an errant elbow after Ryan White had already played the puck. Jacques Martin wouldnt confirm it, but the sight of Pouliot skating with the Habs' scratches certainly did.Claude Julien was having some fun with reporters asking him to comment on the Lake Placid retreat over the last couple of days leading up to Game 4, and the field day that some media were having with the whole Miracle theme.Looks like there wont be any pep talks from Jim Craig or Mike Eruzione in the near future for the Black and Gold. Julien was asked if he saw any differences in his team while going through Thursdays morning skate: Yeah, I saw a Miracle in case you were looking for that word. No, I think we just went there to go and relaxand have some quality practices. We werent looking for any miracles. It was a good place for our team to be, and we went out and skated today like we did the last time we were here.
