Bruins announce MASSIVE lineup changes ahead of game against Wild

The Boston Bruins revealed that they will be without one of their best players for a few games. Team captain Patrice Bergeron has a previous injury that has reemerged and the club announced he was going to sit out a minimum of two games.

Centerman Jack Studnicka was recalled from Providence earlier today, but will not make it out to the Xcel Energy Center in time for tonight's matchup. There is a chance he suits up next game.

Despite the tough loss of Bergeron, the Bruins will still have a strong chance against the Wild tonight as the team is turning back to red-hot goaltender Jeremy Swayman between the pipes.

Here are tonight's expected lines and pairings following the latest updates:

Brad Marchand – Tomas Nosek – Jake Debrusk
Taylor Hall – Erik Haula – David Pastrnak
Trent Frederic – Charlie Coyle – Craig Smith
Nick Foligno – Curtis Lazar – Anton Blidh

Mike Reilly – Charlie McAvoy
Matthew Grzelcyk – Brandon Carlo
Derek Forbort – Connor Clifton

Jeremy Swayman
Linus Ullmark

Puck drop for tonight's game between the Wild and Bruins is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET, at Minnesota's Xcel Energy Center.
