Ryan Spooner

Ryan Spooner (illness) expected to play Monday for Boston

Boston Bruins center Ryan Spooner is ready to return from an illness on Monday night when the Bruins host the Columbus Blue Jackets.

What It Means:

Spooner participated in Monday's morning skate after missing Saturday's game. He is projected to skate on the third line, centering Matt Beleskey and Jimmy Hayes.

Spooner has 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) in 58 games played this season, but he has poor possession stats. His Corsi For Percentage is 47.9, and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is -2.2. We project him to tally another 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) over the remaining course of the season, furthering extending his career-high point total.
