The Boston Bruins are in Philadelphia tonight as they play the lowly Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.�
However when they suit up against the Flyers tonight, they'll be doing it without one of their veteran forwards.�
Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy has decided to make David Backes a healthy scratch tonight as he'll be replaced by Peter Cehlarik on the team's second line beside David Krejci and Jake Debrusk.�
Cassidy was recently quoted as saying "
I just think the pace is fast for him right now".�
If the pace is fast for him now, it's not good news considering that Backes is signed through 2020-21 with a $6million cap hit and full no movement clause.�
Chris Wagner will also play tonight while John Moore and Steven Kampfer will join Backes in the press box.�
