Status report
Chernyshov returned to San Jose and the forward is week to week after leaving in the first period of a 6-2 win at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday when he blocked a slap shot off his left arm by Senators defenseman Nikolas Mantinpalo. ... Gaudette will make his season debut on the fourth line with Goodrow and Ostapchuk. ... Graf returns to the top line and will play alongside Celebrini and Smith. ... Nedeljkovic will start. ... The Bruins will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 6-0 win against the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
