Associated Press
DALLAS -- Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ray Bourque did not
play in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Dallas
Stars on Monday night, opting to give his injured left leg a few
more days' rest.

Bourque missed the last two games of the second round against
Detroit after being hurt in Game 3 of that series. He will likely
return when the series shifts to Colorado on Friday night for Game
3.
Bourque has six assists in his eight playoff games, a plus-3
rating and has averaged a team-best 29 minutes per game.
The Avalanche acquired Bourque on March from the Boston Bruins,
with whom he had spent his entire 21-year career and established
himself as one of the NHL's best defensemen. About the only thing
he hadn't done was win the Stanley Cup.
Bourque's arrival sparked a Colorado revival. Including the
postseason, the team is 21-4-1, with victories in 17 of its last 19
outings, since the trade. |
