The Boston Bruins need any help they can get right now lighting the lamp. At the very least, they’ll have a cleaner bill of health entering Tuesday’s tilt with the New Jersey Devils.
After a false positive COVID test, Brad Marchand will take his usual spot on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. On the back end, Brandon Carlo (concussion) returns to his second spot on the second defensive pairing with Matt Grzelcyk after missing nearly a month of action following Tom Wilson’s cheap shot in Boston’s 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals on March 5.
