Status report
Studnicka will be a game-time decision because of an undisclosed injury. ... McLaughlin, a center, took part in the morning skate after he was recalled on an emergency basis from Providence of the American Hockey League on Sunday; he could make his NHL debut if Studnicka is unable to play. … Lindholm traveled to Boston on Monday and is expected to make his Bruins debut against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday; the defenseman signed an eight-year contract after he was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. ... Ouellet could be recalled from Laval of the AHL after Brett Kulak, a defenseman, was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman WIlliam Lagesson on Monday. ... Gallagher will miss his second straight game; the forward did not play Saturday because of a lower-body injury. … Price took part in his second straight morning skate. The goalie remained on the ice afterward to face more shots.
