Berra starts in goal vs. Arizona on Tuesday.

Berra was pulled after he allowed three goals on 10 shots in Saturday’s come-from-behind win over the Hurricanes. He has won once in his last four outings with a 3.95 GAA and .867 SV%, but draws a nice spot-start matchup vs. the Coyotes.

The Bruins have sent Seth Griffith back to Providence (AHL).

Griffith, 21, had five goals and two assists in 18 games with the Bruins during his lengthy call-up. The Bruins needed to send someone to the AHL who did not need to clear waivers in order to activate Brad Marchand, so expect Griffith to be back with the Bruins soon.

The Bruins have activated Brad Marchand (undisclosed) from injured reserve; expected to play Monday.

Marchand was listed as a game-time decision, but activating him and sending Seth Griffith to the minors this afternoon seems to guarantee that Marchand will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Penguins. Monitor his status during warmups to be sure.

Fleury is expected to start for the Penguins.

Fleury gave up four goals on 35 shots in the Penguins’ 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders on Friday. It looks like he will get a second shot at chalking up the 300th win of his career tonight in Boston. Fleury is 5-1-0 with a 1.81 GAA and .935 SV% on the road so far this year.

Marc-Andre Fleury
Polak expected to miss four weeks with a knee strain.

Polak was injured on Saturday on an attempted hit on Red Wings’ forward Tomas Tatar. Polak’s timetable is not definite at this time, but he is expected to muss about one month. Korbinian Holzer was recalled on Monday.

Roman Polak
Enroth gets the start on Wednesday.

Enroth stopped 43 of 44 shots in the Sabres 2-1 win over Washington on Saturday. He has won his last two starts while allowing just two goals on 64 shots (.969 SV%). Even with Michal Neuvirth back healthy, Enroth has deserved to start Wednesday vs. the Jets.

Jhonas Enroth
Kindl in; Lashoff out.

Kindl served as a healthy scratch in the Red Wings’ last four games, but will draw back into the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. He will be paired with Xavier Ouellet and man the point on the second power-play unit tonight. He has four points (2G / 2A) in 16 games this season.

Jakub Kindl
Raffl (lower-body) expected to practice on Tuesday, could play as early as Saturday.

Raffl will miss his eighth straight game on Monday, but he is expected to be back on the ice tomorrow morning and head coach Craig Berube called him a “possibility” for Saturday. He got off to a nice start to the season, scoring six goals in his first 12 games, so his return to lineup would balance out the Flyers’ attack.

The Coyotes have assigned Lucas Lessio to Portland (AHL).

The 21-year-old Lessio has appeared in three games with the Coyotes this season, totaling two penalty minutes (PIM). The 6-foot-1, 212-pound forward has recorded 5-3-8 and 14 PIM in 14 games with the Pirates this season.

Mason gets the nod in goal for Philadelphia.

Mason gave up two goals on 22 shots in 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The W snapped a short two-game losing skid for Mason, who has won four of his last six with a 2.20 GAA and .936 SV%. Tonight he will go head-to-head with the red-hot Jaroslav Halak.
