With McAvoy out due to a personal matter, Henri Jokiharju will be on the Bruins' top pairing with Nikita Zadorov. Furthermore, after being scratched for five straight games, Mason Lohrei will back in the lineup, skating on the third pairing with Jonathan Aspirot.
Recent call-up Alex Steeves will be getting a huge opportunity, as he is set to play on the second line with Pavel Zacha and Viktor Arvidsson. Furthermore, Jeffrey Viel is expected to return to the lineup on the fourth line with Sean Kuraly and Mikey Eyssimont. This comes after Johnny Beecher left the team's matchup against the Ottawa Senators with an upper-body injury.
