Pastrnak got tangled up in Monday's game in Columbus and left the game with an undisclosed injury. Pastrnak did not return to the game and will not play Tuesday in Detroit. With Pastrnak and Trent Frederic (upper-body) both out, two of Marc McLaughlin, Jack Studnicka and/or Anton Blidh will draw into the Bruins' lineup.
Harris was a third-round pick in 2018 and recently signed his entry-level contract after finishing up his fourth year at Northeastern University. The 21-year-old defenseman had 20 points (5G / 15A) in 39 games this season.
The Bruins have eight NHL defensemen so they are expected to rotate them with some regularity. Clifton will be replaced by Josh Brown, who will be making his Bruins debut.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks before the deadline, signed an eight-year extension with the Bruins on Sunday and is set to make his debut on Thursday. Lindholm will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup and skate on the top pair with Charlie McAvoy.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks on Saturday night and is reportedly nearing an extension with his new team. He will not play Monday in Montreal but is expected to make his debut vs. the Lightning on Thursday.
Zacha left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury just 2:40 into the game after getting hit while taking a shot and sliding heavily into the boards. Head coach Lindy Ruff called him doubtful to play Wednesday, so look for Mason Geertsen to draw into the lineup.
