Rask (concussion) has been cleared to play but will backup Anton Khudobin on Thursday.
Rask has missed the last two games with a concussion that he suffered in practice, but will dress tonight vs. the Sharks. With Khudobin going tonight, you can fully expect to see Rask on Saturday vs. the Kings.
Krejci (back) will miss at least the next two games; listed as week-to-week.
Rask (concussion) practiced on Tuesday; a possibility to start on Thursday.
Lindholm (shoulder) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Lindholm’s injury couldn’t come at a better time as the Ducks lost Cam Fowler on the weekend. Lindholm missed the first seven games of the season with a shoulder injury, but is expected to log massive minutes on the Ducks’ top-pair starting tomorrow.
Rask (concussion) returned to the ice on Monday.
Rask missed the last two games with a concussion, but he was on the ice with Bruins’ goalie coach Bob Essensa before Bruins practice this morning which is a good sign. Rask doesn’t have a timetable for his return, but his next step would be to get into practice. In the mean time, the Bruins will continue to lean on Anton Khudobin.
Lindholm (shoulder) could make his season debut on Tuesday.
Lindholm has missed the first seven games of the season but it looks like he could return earlier than expected. The Finnish defenseman was expected to be out until at least November, but he is expected to practice on Monday and just needs the “green light” to return on Tuesday. Monitor his status on Monday afternoon.
Call up / Send down
The Bruins have sent Peter Cehlarik to Providence (AHL).
Cehlarik served as an extra forward during his call-up but with David Backes (illness) set to return tonight he will head back to Providence where he has two goals and three assists (five points) in three games this season.
Bergeron (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Bergeron has missed the first five games of the season with a lower-body injury, but has skated in practice this week and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. Monitor Bergeron’s centre when the Bruins hit the ice for pregame warmups at 6:30pm ET.
Rask (undisclosed) will not be available for Thursday's game vs. Vancouver.
Rask left Wednesday’s practice after a collision with forward Anders Bjork and was not on the ice this morning. Rask is day-to-day and is expected to be re-evaluated on Friday. With Rask out, Anton Khudobin will start and Zane McIntyre has been recalled to serve as the Bruins’ backup.
