This Bruins defenseman has a big opportunity in front of him.

The Boston Bruins' blueline will have a different look against the Tampa Bay Lightning, as one of their depth defensemen is playing his first game in a month. 

The Bruins have announced that Jordan Harris will be in the lineup against the Lightning and will play on their second pairing with Hampus Lindholm.

When noting that Harris has played in just one game since returning from his long-term injury in March, there is no question that getting back in the lineup is a major opportunity for him. The Massachusetts native will be looking to impress against the Bolts, as it could open the door for him to receive more chances in Boston's lineup before the season is over. 

Harris has played in just six games this season with Boston, where he has recorded one goal and one assist. Overall, the 6-foot defenseman has looked solid when called upon, but the Bruins' strong depth on the blueline has made that a rare occurrence since he has healed from his previous injury.

Now, it is going to be very fascinating to see how Harris performs for the Bruins from here.
