Bruins forward Rich Peverley will miss Friday night's game with an undisclosed nagging injury. Part of the thinking behind keeping Peverley out against the Panthers at the TD Garden is that he'll have extra time to rest. With the Christmas break, the Bruins don't play again until Wednesday. "We're going to keep him out tonight, and go with what we thought was the best plan here, give him a whole week to hopefully recover and be in better shape when he gets back," coach Claude Julien said.
