The Bruins third pair made up of defensemen Connor Clifton and Derek Forbort has been ruled out for tonight. The two blueliners will be replaced by Mike Reilly - who hasn't played a minute since Hampus Lindholm's arrival - and the team's new acquisition, Josh Brown.
Up front, forward Craig Smith is feeling ill and won't suit up tonight, while veteran Nick Foligno is day-to-day with a lower body injury.
Smith's spot on the third line wing will be filled by centerman Marc McLaughlin, a freshly signed rookie set to make his NHL debut, while Foligno's role on the fourth line will be taken over by Anton Blidh.
