The Bruins did not hold a morning skate Thursday, so Bergeron's status will be updated close to game time. … Kreider is expected to return after missing three games with an upper-body injury; to make room, Blais likely would likely be scratched. ... Lafreniere, who was playing on the top line with Zibanejad and Kakko, is expected to move back to the third line, where he was playing before Kreider was injured.
