Andrew Ference (foot) wasn't on any of the Bruins' top-three defensive pairings during their Saturday morning skate. Ference said that he wants to play, but Bruins coach Claude Julien wouldn't confirm that Ference has been medically cleared. It's worth noting that Ference has been practicing for the better part of a week now and there's also a chance that he's healthy enough to play, but the Bruins opted to use Matt Bartkowski over him anyways. We probably won't know more until Boston's pregame warm-ups.
