A pair of trade deadline acquisitions are expected to make their TD Garden debuts as members of the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night when the Original Six club takes on the Carolina Hurricanes.
Veteran forwards Rick Nash, acquired from the New York Rangers on Sunday, as well as Tommy Wingels, acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, are expected to play Tuesday night. Nash made his B’s debut Sunday night when they lost 4-1 to the Sabres in Buffalo. Wingels has yet to play for the Bruins.
In other lineup news, B’s center Patrice Bergeron is out for at least two weeks with a fractured foot. Riley Nash will skate in his place on the first line. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask also is expected to start in net after getting a night off in Buffalo.
