Besides Craig Smith, A.J. Greer, Jakub Zboril and Anton Stralman (healthy scratches multiple times), the Bruins have lost 47 man-games from injury to regular roster players. That includes stars like Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy.
However, the news of Derek Forbort being activated off the LTIR for Tuesday's game will bring what fans have been waiting for. Tuesday night, when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit TD Garden, the Bruins will ice a fully-healthy lineup.
Boston's PP is ranked second (29.3%), PK second (84.3%), and the league's best points percentage (.857), and they will dress a fully healthy lineup for the first time this season.
