With McAvoy back, and Kevan Miller, Noel Acciari and Brad Marchand still out, Boston fans should expect these lines for Saturday’s game at TD Garden:
#NHLBruins morning rushes:
Heinen – Bergeron – Pastrnak
DeBrusk – Krejci – Spooner
Schaller – Nash – Backes
Vatrano – Kuraly – CzarnikChara – McAvoy
Krug – Carlo
Grzelcyk – McQuaid— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) February 3, 2018
McAvoy, of course has played a huge role in the Bruins’ success this season.
But Boston posted a 3-1-0 record in his absence, and currently sit second in the Atlantic Division behind the Tampa Bay Lightning.
