Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games. With Cousins cleared from concussion protocol after missing 10 games, his return to the lineup is now just a matter of conditioning.
Ullmark will be back between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Hurricanes after Jeremy Swayman got the nod against the Jets on Monday. Ullmark allowed four goals on just 21 shots in Saturday's game against the Canadiens, though he still cruised to an easy victory thanks to his teammates spotting him nine goals. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't quite lived up to the lofty standards he set last season, but he's still been more than effective with a 14-5-2 record and .912 SV% to his name. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday as the Bruins play host to the mighty Hurricanes.
