PREGAME NOTES

The Bruins snapped their brief losing skid with a 3-0 shutout in Winnipeg on Thursday. They've won 12 of their last 15. 

Forbort will not play. He left the game against the Jets after taking a shot off his ankle. He was seen in a walking boot after the game. Jim Montgomery said on Friday that Forbort got another "MRI or X-ray" and that there was no update. Hall skated at Warrior Ice Arena on Friday, presumably for the first time since his lower-body injury on Feb. 25. 

Ullmark is expected to start after Swayman made 36 saves in Winnipeg. They've alternated starts in each of the last 11 games. Clifton will draw back into the lineup in Forbort's absence, and Lauko is expected to remain in the lineup as well.

Minnesota won a wild 8-5 game at St. Louis on Wednesday. The Wild are 7-0-3 in their last 10 and 11-0-3 with points in each of their last 14. . 

Brodin, Middleton, Duhaime and Foligno are not expected to return for Minnesota. Brodin, Duhaime and Folgino all practiced Friday, and the latter two wore non-contact jerseys. Gustavsson will start.
