Status report
McCabe is questionable after the defenseman missed a 2-1 overtime win against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday because of an illness. … Toronto acquired Edmundson, a defenseman, in a trade with the Washington Capitals on Thursday for a third-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. … Forbort, a defenseman, is day to day with "minor aches and pains," Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. … Lindholm participated in Boston's morning skate but the defenseman will not play Thursday.
