Status report
Stillman could make his Sabres debut after being acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, pending visa issues. ... Dahlin, a defenseman, will miss his third straight game. ...Luukkonen is expected to start. ... Hall, a forward, was placed on long-term injured reserve and Foligno, a forward, was placed on injured reserve, each on Thursday; Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said it's "unlikely" either returns before the postseason, but he "[doesn't] think anything is off the table." … Lauko was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League on Thursday and was on the fourth line during Boston's morning skate. … The Bruins acquired Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday but the forward will not play. ... Swayman will alternate starts with Ullmark for the fifth straight game.
