Matt Poitras appears to be absent from the Bruins' morning skate before their matchup against the Calgary Flames tonight. Coach Jim Montgomery expressed uncertainty yesterday about Poitras's ability to participate in the game. Additionally, Montgomery clarified that Forbort's injury does not worsen any previous lower body issues he has had.
In tonight's game, Poitras will not be playing, with Forbort and DeBrusk stepping in to fill the gap. Swayman is confirmed to be guarding the net. Poitras missed this morning's skate due to a follow-up doctor's appointment. This lineup change comes amidst the current NHL season, where player performances and team dynamics are closely watched.
The Bruins are currently at the top of the league standings, sharing the position with the Vancouver Canucks. They entered the break on a high note, securing seven victories in their last eight games and boasting a strong record of 12-2-3. This momentum sets the stage as they commence a seven-game stretch on their home ice.
