As the Boston Bruins gear up to take on the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow, the Bruins have confirmed whether or not they will be getting two of their top defenseman's back or not.
Today was a big stepping stone for both of them as for the first time they were full participants with the Boston Bruins during practice, and finally ditched their no contract jersey's.
Bruins reporters, reported that both Charlie McAvoy, and Hampus Lindholm today practiced with regular practice jersey's.
This was a massive step for both of them, and it was unclear whether or not they would be joining the Bruins in their trip to Buffalo.
Now the Boston Bruins have made it official.
The Bruins have announced that both Lindholm, and McAvoy won't be joining the team on their trip to Buffalo.
Boston is also going to be without Oliver Wahlstrom and Mark Kastelic who will not be traveling with the team either.
After beating the Colorado Avalanche in an impressive come from behind win on Saturday, they are now looking to take on the Buffalo Sabres who have been struggling this year.
Boston currently sits tied for third place in the Atlantic Division with the Ottawa Senators, but hold the first wildcard spot. Most teams have games in hand of the Bruins and they are going to have to put multiple wins together in order to secure their playoff spot this year.
