Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle were The Hockey News picks for the mid-season Selke Trophy. The Boston Bruins are gearing up for a massive contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight (April 13). With the Florida Panthers just one point behind them for the Atlantic Division lead, the Bruins will be hoping to extend their cushion with a victory. This matchup is also significant because trade deadline acquisition Pat Maroon is likely to make his Bruins debut [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/players/ill-be-there-pat-maroon-gearing-up-for-bruins-debut]. The Bruins certainly need more toughness, and the three-time Stanley Cup champ will provide them with just that. Based on yesterday's (April 12) practice lines, Maroon will likely slot on the club's fourth line with Jakub Lauko and Jesper Boqvist. Notably, with Maroon jumping into the lineup, James van Riemsdyk was the extra forward. As a result, JVR is likely heading for another healthy scratch. Once a mainstay in the Bruins' top nine, van Riemsdyk has cooled off immensely down the stretch. He is currently riding a 12-game pointless streak and has just one point over his last 19 games. He also posted a minus-2 rating against the Carolina Hurricanes last game.

Despite his tough play down the stretch, he still has 11 goals, 38 points, and a plus-7 rating in 70 games. The potential for him to bounce back is there.
