From the Globe:
Coyle is recovering from mid-June surgery to repair an avulsion fracture in his left kneecap and a small tear of the patellar tendon, according to his agent, Bob Norton. Doctors have told him he should be on the ice by September, when training camp begins.
It’s unclear when the bone chip happened, but it cost the physical center some of his burst and puck-possessing power. Coyle played in 51 games and scored at a career-low pace (6-10—16). Coyle, like defenseman Kevan Miller, spent a healthy amount of time with the Bruins’ training staff, trying different kinds of therapies to relieve pain.
For Bruins, action should pick up on Tuukka Rask, David Krejci and Taylor Hall with NHL expansion draft looming - The Boston Globe
