The Boston Bruins host the Montreal Canadiens tonight and will get two forwards back from COVID protocol.
Jake DeBrusk and Tomas Nosek return to the lineup after being in protocol the last few games. DeBrusk will slot back in on the third line’s left wing. Nosek will center the fourth line.
On defense with Derek Forbort and Connor Clifton still in protocol, John Moore and Urho Vaakanainen will round out the third pairing. The Bruins also recalled Tyler Lewington to the taxi squad.
Linus Ullmark starts in net with Tuukka Rask as back-up.
