Rich Peverley logged 13:42 of ice time in his return to Boston's lineup Saturday night in Game 2.
The Bruins are still waiting to get some offense out of their third line, which has been sore spot for the club all year. The thought was that Jaromir Jagr would help add some scoring punch alongside Peverley and Chris Kelly, but that is yet to happen. Jagr, Peverley, Kelly and Kaspars Daugavins, who played instead of Peverley in Game 1 against Toronto, don't have a point in Boston's first-round series.

There is no word yet as to whether Rich Peverley will draw back into the Bruin lineup for Game 2 against Toronto Saturday night.
He was a healthy scratch for Boston's convincing 4-1 win in Game 1. That said, he was practising on the Bruins' third line during scrimmages Friday. We suspect Peverley will sit out another game but may get a chance when the series moves to Toronto.

Rich Peverley joined Kaspars Daugavins, Jaromir Jar and Chris Kelly on the third line for Wednesday's morning skate.
Daugavins took the first shift which suggests he'll play and Peverley would sit as a healthy scratch in Game 1.

Rich Peverley's presence on the fifth line during Tuesday's practice raised some eyebrows, but coach Claude Julien hasn't committed to his lineup yet for Wednesday night's playoff opener.
Peverley could be made a healthy scratch for Game 1, but Julien expects to get back to relying on him at some point in the series. "There's no doubt, when he looks at his stats, it's disappointing. We all know that Pevs is a better player than he's shown," Julien said. "But I think he's been getting better lately and skating a lot better than he has all year. . . . We certainly have hopes of him being a good player for us in the playoffs." He has also been a decent postseason performer in his career while picking up 19 points in 38 contests.

Rich Peverley ended his seven-game pointless slump on Saturday.
Peverley recorded an assist in the second period and finished the game with a plus-two rating. He also was charged with a tripping penalty in the third period, which helped most fantasy owners, but ultimately cost the Bruins the lead in their eventual 3-2 overtime loss.

Rich Peverley ended a 10-game goalless slump with his fifth goal in Monday's win over Carolina.
He also added an assist in the contest. Peverley has been disappointing offensively this campaign with just 14 points in 37 contests. The Bruins need him to step up with Patrice Bergeron sidelined and he's hoping he can build off this with 10 games remaining in the regular season.

Rich Peverley played between Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand on Tuesday night.
He moved up from the third line after Patrice Bergeron was injured in the second period. Peverley has not had a memorable season with just four goals and 12 points in 34 games. If he can stay up with Seguin and Marchand for however long Bergeron is sidelined then his fantasy value could get a boost.

Rich Peverley's benching on Thursday was a move that not only sent a message to him but also other struggling Bruins.
Peverley has nine points and is a minus-nine in 28 games, but there are other Bruins in a rut, too. Milan Lucic has no goals in 14 games, Nathan Horton has one goal in 12 games and Brad Marchand has one in his last nine games. "The longer you go with that, the more it weighs on you," said coach Claude Julien. "That's a natural thing, Nathan and Looch were guys who were scoring quite a bit at the beginning; now they've been a little cool. ... I want to see them work through it. ... "I thought they worked a little harder (against the Senators). Now they've got to carry that into the next game. If they don't, they go back to square one."

Rich Peverley was a healthy scratch Thursday for the first time as a member of the Boston Bruins.
Peverley was replaced by minor-league call-up Ryan Spooner, who was initially recalled to sub for the injured David Krejci. "I really felt that [Spooner] played well enough that he deserved another look," coach Claude Julien said. "I think it's obvious to everybody that Rich is struggling a little bit. Sometimes you've got to make those kinds of decisions, hoping that maybe it gives him the jolt he needs to get himself going." Spooner spent much of the game playing on the fourth line and neither he nor Peverley is much of a fantasy option at this point.

Rich Peverley is being penciled in to center Boston's second line if David Krejci can't dress Tuesday night.
That could place the versatile forward between Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic, with minor-league call-up Ryan Spooner playing on the third line with Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron.

Rich Peverley has notched just two goals and three assists in 13 games this season.
The Bruins have been able to count on their third line for offense in the past, but this season has been a struggle for them. Chris Kelly has no goals and four assists on the year, while Chris Bourque hasn't cemented his spot with only one marker and three points over 12 appearances.

Rich Peverley scored the game-winning goal in overtime and added an assist to give JYP Jyvaskyla a 3-2 victory versus Ilves on Friday.
He now has nine goals and 23 points in 28 games with his Finnish lockout club. According to Matias Strozyk of Eliteprospects.com, Peverley will play his final game with JYP on Saturday and return to North America to see what direction the work stoppage goes.
