The 24-year-old appeared in two games for the Bruins , the last being Dec. 27 in their 4-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres .
When Kolyachonok was claimed, the Bruins were thin on defense due to a slew of injuries. Now Hampus Lindholm is back and Jordan Harris getting closer, plus the team has enjoyed the emergence of Jonathan Aspirot .
The Bruins also have Billy Sweezey on the road trip, who was called up from the AHL on an emergency basis Sunday.
Defenseman Andrew Peeke , who missed Saturday’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury , practiced Tuesday and is a game-time decision.
