Status report
The Bruins held an optional morning skate. ... DiPietro will make his second start of the season and Swayman likely will start at the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. ... Gauthier will return after missing a 4-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday because of an upper-body injury and will play center for the first time in his NHL career. ... Granlund is day to day, but the center will accompany the Ducks on their four-game road trip that begins at the New York Rangers on Monday. ... Klepov will replace Colangelo, a forward, after being a healthy scratch the past three games.
