The Bruins have a huge game in Toronto tonight with second place in the Atlantic Division on the line.  They will have one more game before the trade deadline with tomorrow afternoon's game in Buffalo to wrap up this five-game road trip.

The Bruins will catch a break as the Maple Leafs will be with out star center and leading goal scorer Auston Matthews, who injured his shoulder against the New York Islanders on Thursday night.  Matthews will have missed three of the four games in the season series against the Bruins due to injury.

There will be only one lineup change from Tuesday night in Edmonton. Kevan Miller will finally make his return to the lineup after missing the last nine games with an upper-body injury.  Adam McQuaid will be a healthy scratch.

The recently acquired Nick Holden will have to wait at least one more game to make his Bruins debut as he will a healthy scratch as well.

The Bruins have lost two of the first three games against the Maple Leafs this season.  Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak each have two goals in the season series and Torey Krug leads the team with four points (1 G, 3 A)
