Boychuk was later seen limping around the locker room following the contest and was walking on his own. It could be a good sign for the B's, who can't afford to have him missing too much time.
In 77 games with the Bruins this season, Boychuk has tallied five goals and 10 assists for 15 points, 53 penalty minutes.
Meanwhile, starting netminder Tim Thomas was not in uniform for the Bruins on Tuesday, as coach Claude Julien took the opportunity to give his veteran goalie a full night off to prepare for the post-season.
