Status report
Forwards Lindholm and Zacha did not travel with the Bruins and each is day to day; Lindholm will miss his third straight game and Zacha his second. ... Marchand will miss his third consecutive game; the forward has skated with the Panthers the past two days and could return at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, prior to the Olympic break. … Lundell is expected to return after missing three games with an upper-body injury. … Bennett will play after the forward left following the first period of a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday.
