For now at least, Bruins' coach Marco Sturm termed Elias Lindholm as "day-to-day" with an upper body injury, though he there was the caveat that the No. 1 centerman was still scheduled to visit the doctors when Sturm met with reporters after the B's morning skate on Thursday. The immediate future, however, was that Lindholm would be a scratch for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. That precipitated the call-up of one Matt Poitras.

The Rangers have a matinee today in Boston as they look to repeat their Black Friday success at TD Garden. The Rangers won that contest 6-2 in what was, at the time, a sign of life from the Rangers as we hoped they could turn a corner. Of course that didn't happen, and now the Rangers are sinking fast. Boston was in a playoff spot earlier in the season, but they've fallen off as the better teams have picked it up.
