Status report
Comrie, a goaltender, is reportedly close to returning but did not practice on Friday. He has not played since a 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Nov. 16. … Nosek, a forward, did not play in Boston's 3-1 win against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday, and did not practice Friday. Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said his absence is for maintenance, and is not serious.
