Dave Scatchard and Alex Zhamnov will be out of tonight's lineup. Scatchard has been bothered by a groin injury, but according to Bruins coach Mike Sullivan, Scatchard will return sooner rather than later.

Scatchard skated with Bruins strength and conditioning coach, John Whitesides, prior to the team's game-day skate at the Garden this morning and showed no ill effects.

Zhamnov bruised his shoulder during the preseason finale against the New York Rangers last Saturday. He is listed as day-to-day.

As a result of Zhamnov's injury, the Bruins recalled Pat Leahy from Providence.
