Steve Conroy: Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort was on the ice before practice.
Conor Ryan: Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman practiced with the main group yesterday. Goaltender Keith Kinkaid remains with the team, so Swayman may need to get cleared for a few more things before returning to game action.
- Joe Haggerty: Bruins coach Jim Montgomery hasn’t ruled out Swayman for later this week as he’s ahead of schedule.
Lance Lysowski: Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Quinn is listed as day-to-day.
Defenseman Mattias Samuelsson doesn’t have a timeline yet but it will likely be within the next two weeks. He’ll wait until he skates and practices to see how he responds.
Dave Maetzold: Columbus Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said that Sean Kuraly and Erik Gudbranson are now healthy and ready to return to the lineup.
Jeff Svoboda: Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins leaves early as he’s not able to put any weight on one of his legs.
Mike Heika: Dallas Stars forward Denis Gurianov (upper-body) is not quite ready to go yet.
Matthew DeFranks: Stars coach Pete DeBoer said that forward Ty Dellandrea was having x-rays done last night: “Fingers crossed that he’s OK. Big block for him, for us from him.”
If I blocked this rocket from Stamkos, I’d probably retire and apply for disability. Ty Dellandrea was back in the game a few minutes later. pic.twitter.com/nd06Dplu3H

Detroit Red Wings: The Red Wings have activated Tyler Bertuzzi from the IR and placed Elmer Soderblom on the IR retroactive to November 8th.
Montreal Canadiens: Forwards Joel Armia and Jonathan Drouin missed last night’s game with upper-body injuries.
- Renaud Lavoie: Canadiens GM Kent Hughes said that Armia was injured on Saturday night and shouldn’t be out for that long.
- Eric Engels: Drouin will be out for four to six weeks. He’d been playing through the issue since November 5th.
Bruce Garrioch: Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion said that Artem Zub will travel with the team but he won’t play this weekend.
Charlie O’Connor: Philadelphia Flyers Wade Allison is expected to be out for three weeks with an oblique muscle strain and hip pointer.
- Charlie O’Connor: “Some of Allison’s injuries have purely been bad-luck injuries, & to an extent, this one is too. But his playing style is a part of why he gets banged up. The hit he injured himself on was his 7th of the game. It’s part of what makes him effective/fun. But there’s a downside.”
