This Bruins forward won't be in the lineup against the Sharks.

Boston Bruins head coach Joe Sacco has announced that forward Trent Frederic will not be in the lineup against the San Jose Sharks due to an illness. 

With Frederic being out of the lineup, Sacco also announced that forward Oliver Wahlstrom will replace him on the third line.

Frederic being out of the lineup is undoubtedly tough news for the Bruins. They need every point they can get right now, and they will miss Frederic's toughness against the Sharks. 

Frederic, 26, has seven goals, 14 points, and 132 hits in 47 games this season with the Bruins.
