WILMINGTON — After a day of off-ice workouts following their two rookie games vs. the Islanders, the Bruins’ youngsters returned to the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Thursday.

Skating wizard Besa Tsintsadze was on the ice with the rookies. He made a couple of appearances in July’s development camp.

The rookies will practice again Friday, but from there the party will be moved to TD Garden for the official start of training camp. Assistant general manager Jim Benning indicated after the skate that all but about four of the guys from rookie camp will be in main camp when it opens.
