Zacha (healthy scratch) will draw back into the Devils lineup on Monday.
Boston Bruins News
Lindholm (lower-body) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Sunday.
Krejci (back) will return to the Bruins lineup in Los Angeles.
Line Change
Zadorov will replace Tyson Barrie (undisclosed) in the lineup on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Rask will start Wednesday in Anaheim.
Rask allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Bruins’ loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Rask has now lost three of his last four starts while posting a 3.05 GAA and .891 SV%. Now he heads to Anaheim looking for his first road win of the season—he has gone 0-3-1 with a 3.24 GAA and .896 SV% in his first four road starts.
Krejci (back) will not play Wednesday in Anaheim; could play Thursday in Los Angeles.
Lindholm (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Lindholm was at the rink this morning but did not take part in the morning skate, leaving him as a game-time decision against the Bruins. It’s a late start, making Lindholm a very risky daily fantasy pick, but monitor his status when the Ducks hit the ice for warmups.
Pitlick (upper-body) is expected to return to the Stars lineup on Monday.
Pitlick has missed the last games but is expected to replace Remi Elie in the lineup tonight. Pitlick has registered two goals and two assists in his first 14 games of the season.
Krejci (back) will travel with the team to California; hopes to play during the trip.
Krejci has been out with a back injury since October 19th, but it looks like he may return during the Bruins’ California road-trip. Despite travelling to Anaheim with the team, Krejci remains questionable for Tuesday’s game.
