"Jay Pandolfo didn't play a single NHL game last season for the first time in 14 years, and it appeared that the Burlington, Mass. native's pro hockey career was winding down.

But, according to several sources, the 35-year-old veteran iis mulling a return to hockey this season.

Those same sources also indicated to CSNNE.com that Pandolfo is talking with the Bruins about coming to training camp in September for his hometown team as the B's attempt to repeat as Stanley Cup champions.

Pandolfo played 13 seasons for the Devils and totaled 223 points in 819 games while building a reputation as a dogged penalty killer, reliable bottom-six forward and playoff performer en route to New Jersey's multiple Stanley Cup championships. Pandolfo was a longtime leader in the Devils' dressing room, and is also one of Claude Julien's favorite players from the B's coach's turbulent tenure coaching in New Jersey under Lou Lamoriello."
