Kemppainen -- who is dealing with an undisclosed injury -- will travel will the Bruins in advance of Friday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Kemppainen is viewed as a game-time decision for Friday's game, and based on Thursday's practice alignments, if he is forced to sit out the contest, the Bruins' fourth line would likely feature Zac Rinaldo, Chris Kelly and Tyler Randell. In seven games to date, Kemppainen has a goal and an assist, both recorded in last Friday's win over the Islanders.
