Johnny Boychuk netted his fourth goal of the playoffs in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
He potted the game-tying goal in the third period of a 2-1 victory. The Bruins have received plenty of offense from the back end in their second-round series versus New York, with five goals coming from defensemen. "It's just a bonus," Boychuk said. "We just want to get shots on net and our forwards are doing a good job of screening (the goalie). Sometimes they'll tip it and it will go in. But we've been hitting the net and it's been going in. We just have to keep doing the same thing."

Johnny Boychuk registered what turned out to be the game-winning goal in Boston's 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday in Game 2.
He potted the go-ahead goal just past the midway point of the second period for his third tally of the postseason. Boychuk had one marker and five assists during 44 regular-season contests. "You know, just hitting the net I guess, and sometimes it's luck," he said referring to his upswing in offense. "Just getting shots on net and hitting the net. Better chance to score when you hit the net."

Johnny Boychuk had a tough game in Thursday's semifinals series opener against the New York Rangers.
He was checked from behind by Taylor Pyatt in the second period and needed to go the dressing room for a bit after going headfirst into the glass. Boychuk also sent himself into the boards awkwardly while looking to deliver a big hit and appeared to be in pain on the bench, but he stayed in the game after flexing out his shoulder. He ended up with 26:55 of ice time and a minus-2 rating in Game 1's 3-2 victory to go with his six hits, four blocks and five shots.

Johnny Boychuk said the Bruins' unbelievable Game 7 win is something that the team will remember forever.
"That was unbelievable, Boychuk said after his team came back from three down to defeat the Leafs. "That's one thing you're going to remember probably for the rest of your life. It was such a comeback that everybody probably thought that we were done and showed what kind of character there is in this dressing. Never say die." Boychuk had four blocked shots and six hits in 28:30.

Johnny Boychuk took a shot off his ankle in Game 4, as one of his seven blocked shots in the contest.
He also had seven hits during his 23:18 of ice time. "Well, right now I'm not feeling that great but come (Friday) I'll feel a lot better," Boychuk said after the game. "You always step your game up in the playoffs and you have to or else you're going to be sitting on the bench, up in the stands or going home. You have to bring your 'A' game. You have to be determined to do whatever it takes to win." He had a slight limp but it's not expected to keep him out of the lineup for Game 5 on Friday night.

The suspension handed to Boston defenseman Andrew Ference forced the Bruins to put together some different defense pairings for Game Two of their opening round playoff series against Toronto.
Johnny Boychuk found himself paired with Dennis Seidenberg for the game instead of his usual partner, Ference, but the blueliners weren't willing to chalk up their struggles to unfamiliarity "Not really because we've played with each other throughout the whole year," Boychuk said. "We had different partners as the year went on. We do have chemistry with each other no matter who you're playing with. You've just got to talk a lot, talk loud and be the eyes for your partner when he's going back to the puck." Look for the Bruins to be back to normal when Ference returns for Game Three.

Johnny Boychuk watched Tuesday's game from the press box as a healthy scratch.
He got a day of rest with the Bruins playing Adam McQuaid, who returned from an injury, and Wade Redden in the lineup instead. Boychuk is expected to play regularly once the postseason begins even though the Bruins are still tinkering with who to play on their bottom pairing.

Johnny Boychuk returned to action on Saturday March 30.

Johnny Boychuk (foot), who practised with his Bruin teammates Friday, boarded the plane to Philadelphia for Saturday afternoon's contest against the Flyers.
It looks like there is a pretty good chance he will play. Bruin coach Claude Julien indicated that Boychuk's availability will be determined at game time. Play it safe and wait until Sunday when the Bruins face the Sabres before activating him.

Johnny Boychuk (foot) took part in Friday's practice.
Boychuk has been sidelined for three consecutive games. He's still questionable for Saturday's contest.

Johnny Boychuk (foot) will not play Wednesday night.
The rearguard wasn't out for the pregame skate, so he will miss his third straight game. Boychuk, who participated in the morning skate, has five points on the year. He seems to be very close to returning.

Johnny Boychuk's availability for Wednesday's game is still yet to be determined.
He has missed two games with a foot or leg injury, but skated in the morning session without limitations. Boychuk still hasn't been cleared to return though, but that could come later in the day.

Johnny Boychuk, who is still day-to-day with a foot injury, didn't skate Sunday.
He missed Saturday's game as a result of the ailment and it isn't clear if he will be available for Monday's rematch against Toronto at this time.

Johnny Boychuk (leg) isn't expected to play in Saturday's game.
Boychuk is day-to-day after being hit in the right leg by a shot during Friday's practice. Boychuk has a goal and five points in 29 games this season.

Johnny Boychuk's availability for Saturday night's game is unclear at this point.
Boychuk took a shot off the right leg in Friday's practice. Because of the swelling, the Bruins weren't able to determine how bad the injury was. Matt Bartkowski was recalled from the AHL just in case.

Johnny Boychuk left Friday's practice early.
He hobbled off the ice after taking a shot off what appeared to be his right leg and he required some help getting to the locker room. Boychuk didn't return to the session, so his status is cloudy for Saturday's match in Toronto. We'll keep you posted when we learn more.

The Bruins aren't concerned with the potential blizzard ruining their plans for this weekend.
They are supposed to host the Lightning at 1 p.m. Saturday, then fly to New York to play the Sabres for Saturday night. "It's hockey weather," said Johnny Boychuk. "With our schedule the way it is this year, they're going to have to play it, I would think. Getting to the rink, most of us live right around there, so it's not too bad for the game. Hopefully, we can get out to Buffalo after our game, but we'll worry about that after the game." For those in leagues with daily lineup changes, keep an eye on Rotoworld for the status of this game.
