The Bruins will be without Jonathan Aspirot , which is a major blow to the team. When Aspirot has played 17+ minutes, the Bruins are 14-3-2, an astounding figure. When Aspirot has simply played in the game at all, the Bruins have gone 28-8-4.
Without Aspirot, the Bruins have gone a brutal 6-13-1.
Jordan Harris makes his return to the lineup in place of Aspirot. It's his first in the AHL since October 21, when he suffered a lower-body injury and missed months of time.
In net, Jeremy Swayman receives the night off, as the red-hot Joonas Korpisalo starts in net for the Bruins.
