The Boston Bruins will be getting another member of their team back on Sunday night when they face the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena.
Defenseman Kevan Miller is set to make his return to the lineup after suffering an upper-body injury in February. He will slot in alongside his usual defense partner Matt Grzelcyk, who returned to the lineup in Boston’s 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
#NHLBruins are holding an optional pregame skate this morning in Detroit.
Per Bruce Cassidy, Kevan Miller will return tonight. He’ll play with Matt Grzelcyk.
Up front, “a couple guys are banged up or under the weather” so forward lines will be determined closer to game time.

It looks like the B’s may not have their full offensive lineup tonight in Detroit, but Bruce Cassidy noted that David Pastrnak will be back on the first line with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron after spending some time with David Krejci on the second line.
More pregame updates from Cassidy:
Connor Clifton will be scratched.
David Pastrnak will be back up with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.
