Status report
Oesterle was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. … Lindholm is expected to miss multiple weeks, Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said Wednesday. The defenseman left during the first period of a 3-2 win at the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday after blocking a shot by Blues defenseman Justin Faulk. ... The Stars held an optional morning skate Thursday. ... Bourque, a forward, will be a healthy scratch; coach Pete DeBoer indicated Dallas has tough lineup decisions to make with everyone healthy. … Dumba, a defenseman, will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game.
