The team is currently missing Taylor Hall, Nick Foligno, Derek Forbort, and David Krejci, while Charlie McAvoy experienced an injury scare on Thursday. This morning, head coach Jim Montgomery provided significant news on three of these players.
Krejci has been absent for the Bruins' last two games due to a lower-body injury, while Hall last played on February 25th in Vancouver and has been on LTIR for the last 20 games. He has registered 16 goals and 20 assists in 58 games this season.
The 2019 Hart Trophy winner's return to the lineup before the playoffs could be crucial for the team, especially since he has not yet played alongside new linemate Tyler Bertuzzi.
The Bruins will face the New Jersey Devils at TD Garden on Saturday evening.
