Status report
The Bruins did not hold a morning skate following a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. … Korpisalo is expected to start after Swayman made 32 saves against Toronto. … Timmins could return after missing 38 games with a broken leg; Coach Lindy Ruff said he is available and Timmins told him he’s “ready to go.” … Samuelsson will be a game-time decision; he participated in the Sabres optional morning skate after missing practice Tuesday because of illness.
