MARK STUART EST PRÊT... ENFIN

McQuaid took a hard hit behind the Bruins' net in the first period of the team's 4-1 win in Game 4 Wednesday night. He did not return. Julien did not commit to who would replace McQuaid for Game 4, but he said that if Mark Stuart -- out since April 1 with cellulitis on his left pinky finger -- gets medical clearance, it will be a coach's decision if he will return Friday.

"If Stuart plays, it's because he's ready," Julien said, stressing McQuaid's injury won't rush Stuart's return. "We haven't gotten the clearance from the medical staff yet. He's obviously been cleared for full practice and everything else, and if we do get [the medical clearance], whether it's today or tomorrow, then it will be our decision."
