Studnicka was held out of Sunday's practice with an undisclosed injury that he picked up in Winnipeg on Friday. Studnicka is expected to be back on the top line next to Brad Marchand with Patrice Bergeron (arm) sidelined.
It's unclear whether Studnicka will draw into the Bruins lineup on Wednesday but he comes up with two assists in 10 games with the Bruins this season. During his time in the AHL, he has picked up 33 points (9G / 24A) in 37 games.
Studnicka will play Thursday with Patrice Bergeron (upper-body) unavailable. The 22-year-old has spent most of the season in the AHL, where he has 19 points (6G / 13A) in 27 games. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 27 career NHL games and will centre the third line with Trent Frederic and Nick Foligno.
Studnicka played 11:40 TOI in the season opener but was a healthy scratch on Saturday. With Ondrej Kase getting hurt on Saturday, Studnicka will draw into the Bruins lineup on Monday and is expected to skate on the second line with David Krejci and Nick Ritchie.
Studnicka started the season on the first line but will already get scratched in favour of Anders Bjork. Craig Smith will make his Bruins debut and replace him in the lineup but Bjork will be on the top pair with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Studnicka has a solid showing during his first NHL call-up, picking up one assist in two games while playing 12:08 ATOI and carrying a 51.4 CorsiFor%. He heads back to the AHL, where he has 18 points (9G / 9A) in 21 games.

Studnicka, 20, was a second-round pick in 2017 and has recorded nine goals and nine assists (18 points) in 21 AHL games this season. With Patrice Bergeron out for at least the next two games, Studnicka could get an opportunity to make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
