The Bruins enter their regular-season finale Tuesday night time with an opportunity to clinch the Atlantic Division.
Boston performs the Ottawa Senators at TD Backyard on the second night time of a back-to-back. The Black and Gold can clinch the Atlantic Divison with a win of any sort, however a loss would then have the workforce’s eyes towards the Florida Panthers-Toronto Maple Leafs matchup to find out the division winner.
The Bruins loaned Johnny Beecher to Windfall head of Tuesday’s matchup and recalled Jayson Megna. Boston didn’t maintain morning skate, so it’s unknown if the veteran will make his debut. It’s anticipated that James van Riemsdyk will return to the lineup and skate on the fourth line with Jesper Boqvist and Pat Maroon.
Defenseman Brandon Carlo left Monday’s loss to the Washington Capitals within the third interval resulting from an undisclosed harm. Matt Grzelcyk would slot into the lineup if Carlo can not go well with up. Linus Ullmark will rotate into the lineup for Jeremy Swayman.
