As anticipated, the Boston Bruins will suspend goaltender Tim Thomas on Monday, according to general manager Peter Chiarelli. Thomas informed the Bruins last June that he would sit out the 2012-2013 season to spend more time with his family. Last week, Chiarelli spoke with Thomas' agent, Bill Zito, and was told that the goalie still is going to sit out the season, but wants to play next season, though it was unclear if that meant he would consider returning to the Bruins.
