"Bruins winger Daniel Paille will almost certainly miss tonight's game against Edmonton at TD Garden after having surgery yesterday morning to repair a fractured nose.

Paille sustained his injury Monday when a slap shot by the Islanders' Steve Staios caught him square in the face. The winger fell to a heap on the ice, leaving behind a puddle of blood as trainers rushed him to the locker room.

Coach Claude Julien termed Paille doubtful for tonight, but expects him to be day-to-day after that."
