Just when you thought they were about to get healthy, the injury bug bites again!
Brad Marchand will miss tonight’s game with an injury, as will Charlie McAvoy. David Backes will miss the game as he serves the first game of his three-game suspension.
So...what are we looking at, then?
As I write this, the Bruins haven’t recalled anyone (i.e. Anders Bjork). That means the forward lines will likely look something like this:
Danton Heinen - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak
Joakim Nordstrom - David Krejci - Jake DeBrusk
Ryan Donato - Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson - Sean Kuraly
Noel Acciari - Colby Cave - Chris Wagner
Admittedly, those bottom two lines are complete guesses on my part. It makes sense that JFK wouldn’t be placed on the fourth line, but the other wing on that line could be any number of guys.
You can put the third and fourth lines in a blender, I guess.
On defense, things should be a little more clear.
Zdeno Chara - Brandon Carlo
Torey Krug - John Moore
Matt Grzelcyk - Kevan Miller
Tuukka Rask will get the start in net.
See ya tonight!
