DeBrusk has been out of the lineup since January 26t but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk, who has one assist in six games this season, will be on the third line with Charlie Coyle as well as the second power-play unit.

Lankinen allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Hurricanes last Thursday. Lankinen has allowed a combined seven goals in his last two starts, moving his GAA to 2.32 with a .928 SV% through eight starts. Tonight he'll face a Stars team that has opened the season at 5-2-2 while ranking third in the NHL in Goals per game (3.67).

DeBrusk has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue but was back on a line with Charlie Coyle on Monday, so look for him to return to the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk had just one assist in six games this season.


Demko surrendered four goals on 32 shots in the Canucks loss in Montreal on Tuesday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Demko, who is now 1-3-0 with a 3.60 GAA and .895 SVS% in four road starts this season. Things won't any easier tonight in Toronto--the Maple Leafs are 7-2-1 while averaging 3.30 goals per game (12th) in their first 10 games.

Demko allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Canucks win in Winnipeg on Saturday. Demko appears to be slowly taking over the No.1 job in Vancouver, winning three in a row while stopping 100 of the 103 shots (.971 SV%) that he's faced. It's been a great turnaround after a rough start but he draws a terrible matchup tonight in Montreal.

Lankinen allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday. Lankinen continues to play exceptionally well for Chicago and will make his seventh start in their last eight games. In his last five starts, Lankinen is 3-1-1 while stopping 153 of the 160 shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced.

DeBrusk was not available for Friday's practice and he is not expected to be ready to play Saturday in Washington. Luckily for the Bruins, it does appear that David Pastrnak will make his season debut, which will provide a massive boost to the Bruins offence.



DeBrusk only played 3:30 TOI in Tuesday's OT win before leaving the game and not returning. With DeBrusk already ruled out, Craig Smith skated on the Bruins' top line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand in Wednesday's practice. The Bruins will be in tough without David Pastrnak, Ondrej Kase and DeBrusk.
