Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward took part in this morning's limited skate at the TD Banknorth Garden and remains a game time decision with a "mild" charley horse. The 35-year-old left Saturday's game in the second period and didn't return to action, but the injury has gradually improved over the last few days. According to B's coach Claude Julien, the defenseman's range of motion has improved and a decision won't be made until tonight's pregame skate against the Minnesota Wild.

Julien also confirmed that Andrew Ference is out for tonight's game. --Joe Haggerty (Jan. 6, 11:49 AM)
