The Boston Bruins failed to close the gap between them and
the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers on Saturday. They'll get
another chance this afternoon as they visit the Blueshirts in a matinee
between the top two seeds in the East.

The Boston Bruins placed forward Loui
Eriksson on injured reserve and recalled forward Nick Johnson from Providence
of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis.

Brad Marchand netted the game-winner 54
seconds into overtime to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the
Nashville Predators on Thursday at TD Garden.

Doug Weight and Bill Guerin were among
those selected for induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

Hours after clearing waivers on Monday,
forward Brian Rolston was dealt by the New York Islanders to the Boston Bruins
in exchange for minor leaguers Yannick Riendeau and Marc Cantin.

The Boston Bruins announced on Thursday that the
team has placed forward Chris Bourque on waivers for a purpose of assignment
to Providence of the American Hockey League.

The New York Rangers added defensive depth
Friday, signing journeyman blueliner Aaron Johnson to a one-year deal.
