Status report
Lilleberg and Thompson each is expected to make his NHL debut Saturday after being recalled from Syracuse of the American Hockey League on Friday. Van Riemsdyk, a forward, exited early during the Bruins morning skate Saturday and is day-to-day, according to Boston coach Jim Montgomery. … Lohrei did not take part in the morning skate but could play, Montgomery said; the defenseman was having follow-up dental work after taking a puck to the face during a 4-1 win at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
