Status Report: Rempe is expected to return to the lineup after serving a four-game suspension for elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler on March 11. He was a healthy scratch in New York’s 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, his first game eligible to return, but he was not among the extra skaters who practiced at TD Garden on Thursday morning. … Shesterkin practiced with the extra skaters on Thursday morning, indicating Quick will start. … Maroon, a forward, was on the ice before the morning skate for the first time since joining the Bruins prior to the NHL Trade Deadline on March 8. He is week to week recovering from back surgery.
