Status report
Krejci will miss his seventh straight game, but the forward is expected to be ready for the Stanley Cup Playoffs; otherwise, the Bruins are playing most of their regular lineup. ... Foligno could play for the first time since Feb. 28 because of a lower-body injury. ... Swayman will start after Ullmark did not make the trip for precautionary reasons. The goalie left during the third period of a 5-2 win against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday; he is expected to be back on the ice Friday, Boston coach Jim Montgomery said. ... Bussi was recalled on an emergency basis from Providence of the American Hockey League on Wednesday and will back up Swayman. ... The Canadiens did not hold a morning skate following a 4-2 loss at the New York Islanders on Wednesday.
