Bruins' Alexander Khokhlachev: Dealing with a hand injury

Khokhlachev (hand) took the ice in a red (non-contact) jersey on Wednesday, Mark Divver of the Providence Journal reports.

Per the report, Khokhlachev won't play this weekend, but could possibly return to the Providence lineup by next weekend. To date, Khokhlachev has recorded 47 points in 42 AHL games, with his last outing (on Feb. 26) resulting in a five-assist effort in a 6-1 win over Bridgeport. Once healthy again, Khokhlachev figures to be on the Bruins' short list of potential call-ups, though in his previous stints with the big club, the 5-foot-11, 184-pound forward has yet to record a point over nine NHL contests.
