Status report
The Bruins will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 5-3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. ... Beecher, a forward who hasn't played since Nov. 6, participated in Boston's morning skate but will not dress. ... Chabot, a defenseman who left a 3-2 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, will not play; Senators general manager Steve Staios did not have a timeline on Chabot's return. ... Matinpalo will enter the lineup in Chabot's place after being a healthy scratch for three straight games. … Ottawa coach Travis Green did not have an update on Lycksell’s status Thursday; the forward hasn’t been seen on the ice since Saturday. ... MacDermid will take Lycksell’s spot on the fourth line.
