"The Bruins may have cleared up one mystery headed into tonight's season opener vs. the Flyers, but they have not made all decisions public.

After he went through the entire training camp and suffered a broken nose during a fight in his final exhibition game, veteran Chris Clark was not offered a contract and was given his release yesterday, leaving the B's with 13 healthy forwards and 22 players in all.

Coach Claude Julien still has to decide whether to go with Jordan Caron or Benoit Pouliot on the third line with Chris Kelly and Tyler Seguin. As of yesterday, he wasn't saying, but noted the competition won't end tonight."
