With a Bruins win and a Lightning loss, the B's could take over third place in the Atlantic Division. As for the Blues, a win and a Minnesota loss would move them ahead of the Wild for second place in the Central Division.
Unfortunately for the Bruins however, it appears they'll be down some key elements once again. David Pastrnak is set to miss another game, while defenseman Hampus Lindholm will be joining him on the press box.
Lindholm is missing from the team's top pair, but the B's second unit is also down an important skater. After leaving last game with an upper-body injury, defenseman Matthew Grzelcyk is also set to miss tonight's matchup against the Blues.
