Line Change
Zadorov will be back in the Sabres lineup on Saturday.
Zadorov was a healthy scratch in the last four games, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Florida. He has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 42 games this season. He will be a good player in this league, but the Sabres clearly think he has some growing up to do.
Goalie Start
Bruins goaltender will be a game-time decision. Rask missed the morning skate because of illness, but coach Claude Julien would not say who would start vs. the Devils. Check back during pregame warmups at 6:30 p.m ET.
Rask missed the morning skate with an illness; unclear whether he plays.
Rask stayed at the team hotel this morning because he is battling the flu. If he is unable to play tonight, he will not even dress. The Bruins recalled Jeremy Smith from Providence, so either Rask, Smith or Niklas Svedberg will start—however coach Claude Julien would not announce who will start.
Line Change
Zadorov is expected to be a healthy scratch again on Thursday.
Zadorov will be a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game because of some disciplinary reasons. He likely would be back in the lineup tonight if Mike Weber wasn’t able to go, but he is in.
Goalie Start
Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.
Rask allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Bruins 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Sunday. That win was long overdue for Rask, who has just two wins in February (2-4-2). Rask allowed four goals on 24 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Canucks earlier this month.

Krejci will miss 4-6 weeks with a knee injury.
Krejci is expected to miss one month with a partially torn MCL. This is a terrible break for the Bruins, who are just three points ahead of the Flyers for the final Wild Card spot in the East. If he missed six weeks, he will basically miss the rest of the regular season.
Goalie Start
Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.
Rask allowed two goals on nine shots after replacing Malcolm Subban on Friday vs. the Blues. He has not recorded a win since February 7th and has gone 1-4-2 with a 2.76 GAA and .904 SV% in February. He draws a difficult matchup vs. a Blackhawks team who are 10th in the NHL in scoring.
Krejci (undisclosed) will not play on Sunday.
Krejci suffered an undisclosed injury on Friday and it will keep him out of tonight’s game against the Blackhawks. With Krejci out, Ryan Spooner was recalled and will centre the Bruins second line. Krejci is traveling with the team, so his injury is not believed to be overly serious.
Line Change
Zadorov is not expected to play on Sunday for disciplinary reasons.
Zadorov will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game. Coach Ted Nolan said he won’t play because of “team reasons”. Mark Pysyk is expected to be in the lineup for Zadorov.
Krejci left Friday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return.
Krejci crashed to this ice while trying to hit Alex Steen on Friday night. He limped off of the ice to the dressing room and did not return. He will travel with the team to Chicago, but there is no word on if he will play on Sunday. Expect an update in the next 24 hours.
Lindholm (ankle) will play on Friday night.
Lindholm missed Wednesday’s game against the Lightning, but said that he needed some rest. He will be back in the lineup tonight in Calgary. Lindholm will be paired with Francois Beauchemin. He has 25 points (5G / 20A) and a plus-14 rating in 55 games this season.
Lindholm (ankle) is not on the ice for warmups.
Lindholm was listed as a game-time decision, but will miss his second game in the last four. With Lindholm and Sami Vatanen both out, Josh Manson and Eric Brewer will enter the lineup.
Goalie Start
Lindholm (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Lindholm, who has been in the lineup for the last two games, apparently tweaked his ankle again and will be a game-time decision tonight. He was not on the ice for the morning skate, so his status is in question. This would be a tough loss for the Ducks, who just received the news that Sami Vatanen will miss 4-6 weeks.
Goalie Start
The Bruins did not announce a starting goalie after their morning skate and said that they will wait until pregame warmups to do so. Malcolm Subban was expected to make his NHL debut, but we will have to wait until 9:30 p.m ET before we know for sure.
