The Bruins have recalled Noel Acciari from Providence (AHL).
Acciari, 25, has appeared in 19 games with the Bruins this season, collecting two assists. The 25-year-old has spent the majority of the year with Providence, where he has 14 points (6G / 8A) in 30 games. He was recalled on Sunday because Patrice Bergeron, Drew Stafford and Tim Schaller were all missing from yesterday’s practice.
Malkin (upper-body) will not play on Friday.
Malkin missed the Penguins’ morning skate and will miss tonight’s contest with an upper-body injury. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that Malkin has been dealing with an upper-body injury “for a while” and that they will “know more soon.”
Mantha will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game.
Mantha will be a healthy scratch Friday vs. the Blackhawks.
Mantha has easily been one of the Red Wings best forwards this season and this is a questionable decision considering they are out of the playoff race. Mantha said that the decision was due to his “compete” level. Mitch Callahan will replace him in the lineup.

Dumba (illness) will return to the Wild lineup on Friday.
Dumba missed the last two games, including last night’s contest with an illness, but is set to go on the tail-end of the Wild’s Florida back-to-back. Dumba is expected to replace Gustav Olofsson in the lineup and enters play with 25 points (7G / 18A) in 59 games this season.
Dumba (illness) will miss his second straight game.
Dumba is battling an illness and will not play tonight in Tampa Bay. With Dumba out, Gustav Olofsson will be in the lineup for his second straight game. Dumba is also questionable for tomorrow’s game in Florida.
Rust (arm) (upper-body) will not travel on the Penguins’ four-game Western Canada trip.
Rust has missed the last 11 games with an arm injury and will miss at least four games as he stays back in Pittsburgh while the team travels out west. He resumed skating last Friday, so monitor his status leading up to next Wednesday’s game in Philadelphia.
Letang (upper-body) will not travel on the Penguins’ four-game Western Canada trip.
Letang has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury and will not travel to the west coast for their upcoming road-trip. The Penguins already announced that Letang was more than “day-to-day,” so monitor his status leading up to next Wednesday’s game in Philadelphia.
Letang (lower-body) will be sidelined longer than “day-to-day.”
Letang has missed the last four games and is expected to miss at least a few more games. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that he is more than “day-to-day” but the team hopes that he won’t miss an extended period of time.
Letang (upper-body) did not travel to Dallas; won't play on Tuesday.
Letang will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury and the fact that he didn’t travel to Dallas means that he likely won’t play Wednesday in Chicago either.
Letang (upper-body) will not play Saturday vs. the Flyers.
It remains to be known when Letang got hurt, but he will be held out of the lineup in Saturday’s outdoor game vs. the Flyers. Letang joins Olli Maatta and Trevor Daley, which leaves the Penguins’ blueline extremely thin. Ron Hainsey is expected to play big minutes in his Penguins debut with Letang sidelined.
Letang (upper-body) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is expected to return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.
Dumba missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but will replace Nate Prosser in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Dumba has registered seven goals and 17 assists (24 points) in 54 games this season.
Malkin (lower-body) will play Tuesday vs. the Canucks.
Malkin (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Malkin has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but he skated on the third line in Monday's practice as well as taking reps on the top power play unit, so all signs point towards him playing tomorrow. However, Mike Sullivan listed him as a game-time decision so monitor his status in tomorrow's morning skate.
Dumba (lower-body) is day-to-day and hopes to skate in the next day or two.
Dumba missed Sunday's game vs. the Red Wings because of a lower-body injury that he suffered when he crashed into the boards on Friday. Head coach Bruce Boudreau called him day-to-day and said he hopes to skate on Tuesday or Wednesday, so his status for Tuesday's game is in doubt.
