Boston Bruins Reveal Interesting Roster Amidst Troubling Injury News
The Boston Bruins have revealed an interesting roster for tonight's game amidst troubling injury news today.
As the Bruins are gearing up to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning for the second time in less than a week, they were hit with some unfortunate injury news.
Today the Bruins announced several moves including multiple call ups, and have placed multiple players on Injury Reserved.
Mark Kastelic and Charlie McAvoy have both been placed on Injury Reserved, Hampus Lindholm has been placed on long-term Injury Reserved, and the Bruins recalled both Michael Callahan and Matt Poitras from the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
#NHLBruins announce the following:
Recalled forward Matt Poitras and defenseman Michael Callahan from #AHLBruins.
Placed forward Mark Kastelic on IR, placed defenseman Charlie McAvoy on IR, and placed defenseman Hampus Lindholm on LTIR.
The Bruins morning lines are looking a bit different, Vinnie Lettieri is taking Charlie Coyle's spot on the top line with Marchand and Lindholm. Coyle was absent from the Bruins morning skate due to being sick.
Charlie Coyle was missing from morning skate due to illness. He's a game time decision tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Charlie McAvoy been «dealing with a nagging injury» so he's being shut down for the next few games to see how it responds, per Joe Sacco
Poitras slots into the third line center, with Trent Frederic finally moving to the wing, and Oliver Wahlstrom will be on the other side, and Justin Brazeau moves down to the Bruins fourth line taking Mark Kastelic's spot.
Andrew Peeke is taking Charlie McAvoy's spot on the top defensive pairing, and Jordan Oesterle is slotting back into the Bruins lineup after being healthy scratched for a number of games.
