Andrew Ference's status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals is still unknown. He is recovering from a foot injury , and although he has been practising for a week, it is not clear if he will suit up Saturday night. Of Ference, Boston coach Claude Julien had the following to say: "He's getting better every day and right now I'm going to wait. I haven't talked to our trainers or doctors. When they tell me that they feel comfortable that he can go, then we'll be excited to have him back with us." Consider Ference day-to-day for now.
