Major news strikes Andrew Peeke ahead of Bruins-Panthers game

The Boston Bruins are gearing up for a boost in their lineup tonight as defenseman Andrew Peeke is set to return to the ice.

Peeke has been sidelined since Game 2 of the first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs after sustaining an injury from a puck to the hand.

Coach Jim Montgomery confirmed that Peeke is available to play in tonight's game, marking his comeback at a crucial time for the team.

His return is expected to strengthen the Bruins' defense as they continue their quest in the playoffs.





Tonight's lineup for the Bruins is anticipated to feature some strong combinations:

Forward lines: Zacha-Geekie-Pastrnak, Marchand-Coyle-DeBrusk, Van Riemsdyk-Frederic-Brazeau, and Lauko-Beecher-Maroon.

Defensive pairings: Lohrei-McAvoy, Lindholm-Carlo, and Forbort-Peeke.

Goalie Jeremy Swayman will be in net, providing the last line of defense for the team.

Peeke's return is likely to be a significant addition, helping to solidify the Bruins' defensive strategy as they aim to make a deep run in the playoffs.
