After suffering an injury, the Bruins revealed who will be replacing their top trade candidate in the lineup.
Casey Mittelstadt ended up suffering an injury ahead of their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Charlie McAvoy is home because of a personal matter. Casey Mittlestadt (upper body) did not travel.
Because of this, the Bruins ended up completing a roster transaction, recalling a forward from the Providence Bruins.
Just this morning at practice, the Bruins revealed who will be officially replacing Mittelstadt.
Mittelstadt's replacement revealed
Following practice, head coach Marco Sturm revealed that Mittelstadt is going to be out long-term with his upper-body injury.
Marco Sturm on Casey Mittelstadt: "He's week to week, but I think he's doing better than we expected. So hopefully we can get him on the ice as soon as possible."
Along with that, their lines were revealed, and it showed that Alex Steeves, who was just recalled, will be replacing Mittelstadt for now in the lineup.

Steevs is getting a great opportunity right off the hop with the Bruins, and it will be interesting to see how he handles it.
