Andrew Ference out vs. Sabres

Bruins coach Claude Julien told reporters Friday that defenseman Andrew Ference, who left Thursday’s game in the second period with a lower-body injury, will not play Saturday against the Sabres.

It will be the first game of the season missed for Ference, who played 70 regular-season games last season. With Ference out, Steven Kampfer will play his third game of the season.
