VIDEO: Denna Laing honored by Bruins, delivers inspirational message
The Boston Bruins continue to show their support for injured NWHL player Denna Laing.
The Bruins honored Laing - a member of the Boston Pride who suffered a significant spinal injury at the Outdoor Women's Classic - with a touching video tribute ahead of their game against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.
Laing delivered an inspirational pregame message of her own:
Her sisters were also part of the tribute, taking part in the ceremonial puck drop.
