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.
