BOSTON — The Bruins avoided an injury scare Sunday night to their top-line forward.
Marat Khusnutdinov laid a big hit behind Ottawa ’s net on Nikolas Matinpalo and went down hard. He immediately skated toward the bench with his head in his hands and went down the tunnel.

Alex Steeves moved up the top line with Elias Lindholm and Morgan Geekie in Khusnutdinov’s absence.
Khusnutdinov returned later in the period.
In 31 games for Boston, the 23-year-old forward has four goals and six assists.
