BOSTON - The Bruins look to finish the week strong with a win against the Islanders tonight at TD Garden.
Lineup Changes:
The Bruins will be without Trent Frederic tonight. "He has a lower body injury," said Joe Sacco. "He'll be out week to week."
Replacing Frederic will be Riley Tufte who will skate on the third line with Matt Poitras and Justin Brazeau. "It gives a guy like Riley an opportunity to probably get some more minutes," said Saaco. "To be used more in an offensive situation playing with Matty and see how he responds tonight."
Sacco did not name a starting goaltender for tonight.
