When the Boston Bruins take the ice on Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena against their heated rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, they will do so very shorthanded.
After the Black and Gold's 3-2 overtime win over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night at the TD Garden, it was announced that Boston was not going to practice on Friday. They would use the day as a travel day to Toronto. They took the ice on Saturday morning for their pregame skate minus some bodies, and they will be very shorthanded against the Maple Leafs.
Bruins down multiple key players against Maple Leafs
When Boston took to the ice on Saturday morning, noticeably missing were Charlie McAvoy and Casey Mittlestadt.
