Status report
Neither team held a morning skate after each played Saturday. … Pastrnak and Lindholm were not expected to make the trip but each played in the Bruins' 3-1 win against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Pastrnak had missed the previous eight games because of an undisclosed injury and Lindholm the previous seven because of a lower-body injury. … Montembeault is expected to start after Price made 20 saves in a 6-4 loss at the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
