PREGAME NOTES

Derek Forbort looks to be the defenseman getting the night off against the Sabres as the Bruins continue to rotate their seven defensemen. Conversely, Jakub Lauko draws in on the fourth line after Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno were placed on injured reserve earlier today. Tyler Bertuzzi will wear No. 59 for the Bruins, who will likely make his debut Saturday against the Rangers. Thursday's game kicks off a four-game homestand for the Bruins that'll run until next Saturday.
