Boston Bruins confirmed today that forward Matthew Poitras will sit out tonight's game.

However, defenseman Derek Forbort and forward Jake DeBrusk are set to take the ice. Goalkeeper Jeremy Swayman will guard the net.

Poitras' absence stems from a follow-up doctor's appointment, preventing his participation in the game.

As the team adjusts, fans eagerly anticipate their performance in tonight's matchup, highlighting the dynamic nature of NHL team compositions and the integral role of health considerations in game preparations.
