The Bruins traded minor league forwards Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward to the Philadelphia Flyers for forwards Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo.
For now at least, Bruins' coach Marco Sturm termed Elias Lindholm as "day-to-day" with an upper body injury, though he there was the caveat that the No. 1 centerman was still scheduled to visit the doctors when Sturm met with reporters after the B's morning skate on Thursday. The immediate future, however, was that Lindholm would be a scratch for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. That precipitated the call-up of one Matt Poitras.
The Rangers have a matinee today in Boston as they look to repeat their Black Friday success at TD Garden. The Rangers won that contest 6-2 in what was, at the time, a sign of life from the Rangers as we hoped they could turn a corner. Of course that didn't happen, and now the Rangers are sinking fast. Boston was in a playoff spot earlier in the season, but they've fallen off as the better teams have picked it up.
