Reinforcements are on the way for the Bruins.
Boston welcomed back four lineup regulars during Wednesday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena, with goaltender Linus Ullmark, defensemen Brandon Carlo and Derek Forbort, and forward Matt Poitras taking to the frozen sheet without any restrictions.
Jim Montgomery noted that Ullmark is cleared for game action on Thursday, although it remains to be seen if the netminder will get the starting nod against the Colorado Avalanche at TD Garden.
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has made an about-face in his recovery, especially considering how concerning the optics were when Ullmark suffered a lower-body injury during Boston’s overtime loss to the Coyotes on Jan.
