Kessel being treated
By Greg Lee, Globe Staff
The Bruins say rookie center Phil Kessel is being treated for a medical issue not related to hockey.
The announcement came today in a brief statement released by the Bruins at the request of Kessel's family. The statement did not disclose the medical issue and said there would be no update at this time on the 19-year-old's condition.
The statement also asked that the privacy of Kessel's family be respected.
Kessel was the Bruins' first choice, and the fifth player chosen overall, in the 2006 NHL entry draft. He's played in 27 games this season, scoring nine points on five goals and four assists.
The Madison, Wisconsin native came to Boston after playing one season for the University of Minnesota.
SPERIAMO NON SIA NULLA DI GRAVE!
