Bahl was a second-round pick in 2018 and will make his NHL debut Thursday vs. the Flyers. Bahl turned pro in 2021 and scored one goal with four assists (five points) in 26 AHL games with Binghamton.

Weegar missed the last two games vs. the Blue Jackets but is expected to play tonight vs. the Hurricanes. Weegar was back on the top pairing at the morning skate and is expected to replace Anton Stralman in the lineup.

Weegar was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Blue Jackets. With Weegar out, Anton Stralman will move up to the top pairing with Gustav Forsling.

With Jake Gardiner back, the Hurricanes seem content to rotate their third pairing and tonight is Bean's turn to sit and refresh. Bean has one goal and 10 assists (11 points) in 30 games this season.

Tinordi has only played in one of the last nine games but will replace Matt Grzelcyk (upper-body) in the lineup on Sunday. Tinordi has not registered a point in 17 games this season.

Tinordi missed the Bruins last game but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and could return to the lineup on Thursday. Tinordi, who has been held pointless in eight games with the Bruins, will skat with Steven Kampfer if he plays.

Tinordi played seven games with the Predators earlier this season before being placed on waivers. Tinordi, who has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 88 career NHL games, will be paired with Connor Clifton in his debut.

Tinordi appeared in seven games with the Predators this season before being placed on waivers on Friday. The Bruins don't have the best blueline depth and have a few waiver-exempt defensemen so adding Tinordi boosts that depth and gives them more options and flexibility.

Backlund missed Monday's game in Vancouver with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. Backlund skated with Milan Lucic and Dillon Dube this morning, so he is a less appealing DFS option without Andrew Mangiapane on his wing.
