Marchand will be out until February 24th in Seattle and this suspension will leave the Bruins without Marchand and Patrice Bergeron on Thursday. Bergeron is dealing with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday. Jake DeBrusk will move up to the top-6 tomorrow with Marchand out.

Bergeron suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins and will miss at least one game. This is a huge blow for the Bruins, who will most likely also be without Brad Marchand due to a suspension. Without Bergeron or Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk moved up into the top-6 in Wednesday's practice.

Rask has not played since January 24th and will not practice for the rest of this week due to a lower-body injury. The Bruins said they will provide another update next week, but it's unclear what the future holds for the 34-year-old, who is 2-2-0 with a 4.28 GAA and .844 SV% in four games since re-joining the Bruins.




Kastelic was a fifth-round pick in 2019 and has spent the last year and a half in Belleville (AHL). The 6-foot-3, 210 lbs. centre, who has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 31 AHL games this season, will replace Josh Norris (shoulder).


Lettieri was a healthy scratch in Boston on Monday but will replace Derek Grant (lower-body) in the lineup on Wednesday. Lettieri has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 15 games this season.

Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch vs. the Maple Leafs on Saturday but will play tonight vs. the Flyers. It's unclear who Wahlstrom will replace in the lineup, but he comes in goalless with 31 shots and three assists in his last eight games.




Marchand was not originally expected to be available on Saturday after suffering an upper-body injury on Thursday. However, he is expected to test his injury in warmups and is a game-time decision vs. the Jets.



Marchand appeared to suffer a shoulder injury on a hit from Garnet Hathaway and he will miss at least Saturday's game vs. the Jets. Jake DeBrusk, who replaced him on the top line midway through the game, will start on that line tomorrow.


Stralman missed four games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Wednesday in New Jersey. Stralman will likely be back on a pairing with Jakob Chychrun, who is a game-time decision. The veteran defenseman has two goals and four assists (six points) in 29 games this season.
