Bruins Notes: McQuaid participating in full practice

The Bruins, winners of eight of the last 10 games, are practicing this morning with a full roster. Yes, you heard that right -- a full roster.



Adam McQuaid, who has missed 21 games after breaking his right fibula on Oct. 19 at Vegas, returns to full practice for the first time since the injury. It's going to be an interesting decision for Bruce Cassidy once McQuaid is cleared for game action and the team has seven healthy D-men.

Ryan Spooner, who is on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, is also practicing this morning.

Noel Acciari, who missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, is on the ice and showing no ill effects.

However, during a 3-on-3 small-area game in the neutral zone, Matt Beleskey took a stick to the face and exited practice.

Here are the practice line combinations and defensive pairings this morning:
