Bruins' Alexander Khokhlachev: Back in business

Khokhlachev (hand) will return to action Friday against AHL Hartford, Mark Divver of The Providence Journal reports.

Khokhlachev, who has recorded 47 points in 42 AHL games to date, is slated to work on a line with veterans Max Talbot and Joonas Kemppainen on Friday and given his success in the minors this season, we suspect that once Khokhlachev re-proves his health, he'll be on the Bruins' short list of potential call-ups.
