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.

Barrie left Monday's game in Calgary and did not return. He tested it prior to the third period but didn't feel right and went back to the dressing room. Barrie also missed Tuesday's practice, making him questionable to play in Wednesday's rematch. Ethan Bear will move up and play with Darnell Nurse if Barrie can't play.

Farabee missed Thursday's game but is expected to play Saturday afternoon. Farabee, who will likely be reunited with Sean Couturier and James van Riemsdyk, has 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 19 games this season.

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.

Backlund suffered a lower-body injury early in Saturday's loss to the Canucks and is questionable to play on Monday. Head coach Geoff Ward called him "day-to-day" on Sunday, so monitor his status during the morning skate.

Lomberg has not played since the Panthers' season opener but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear who Lomberg will replace but this is likely a response to Givani Smith's fight with Aaron Ekblad on Sunday.
