It is hardly the grand return to Boston that Sergei Samsonov wanted.
The veteran winger, who was the Montreal Canadiens' big off-season signing, arrived at practice Wednesday to find he was demoted to the fourth line in favour of rookie Guillaume Latendresse.
''I'm not shocked,'' an angry Samsonov said. ''If you keep track of my ice time, that's what I'm getting right now, I'm a fourth-line player.
''When I came here, I thought I was going to be a go-to guy and obviously, that's not the case right now. What is it going to take? I don't know. We'll see.''
Montreal's game in Boston on Thursday night will be Samsonov's first in Beantown since he was traded by the Bruins on March 9 to the Edmonton Oilers.
