Andrej Meszaros has been a member of the Boston Bruins for a few days, and he’s taken in a couple of games from the press box. He’ll be on the ice come Sunday afternoon in Florida, though.
The defenseman will make his debut with the Bruins on Sunday when the B’s square off with the Florida Panthers to wrap up a two-game swing through Florida. Meszaros has been a healthy scratch in the two games since being acquired at the trade deadline on Wednesday.
To make room for Meszaros in the lineup, Dougie Hamilton will be a healthy scratch.
Chad Johnson will start in net for the Bruins, and Roberto Luongo will get the nod for the Panthers.
