Corvo said Wednesday that the tight groin is an injury he had last year in training camp, and that it was just a sign of fatigue that goes away with a combination of rest and icing.

With rest, Corvo should be back at full strength. Last season the puck-moving defenseman posted 11 goals and 40 points with the Carolina Hurricanes. He figures to output similar production in his first season in Beantown.

Likely just a precautionary measure for the Bruins' newest defender. Last season the puck-moving defenseman posted 11 goals and 40 points with the Carolina Hurricanes. He figures to output similar production in his first season in Beantown.
