Boston Hockey Now: Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask (upper-body) isn’t expected back this week. He’s only been able to play in four periods since March 5th. He hasn’t been able to practice yet.

John Vogl: Buffalo Sabres interim coach Don Granato on Jack Eichel: “I don’t have an update on Jack (Eichel). I spoke to him a couple days ago, did not get into details with him because he is going through rehab. … He said he felt good, was feeling better. I don’t think and believe it would be season-ending.”

“I know we’re all working to get him back. Do not have a timetable on it as of today. … We’re hopeful, but we think he’ll be back at some point.”

Michael Smith: Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour on Vincent Trocheck practicing: “We’re still waiting. I guess he had some tests this morning, and I haven’t heard the results.”
