The Boston Bruins had a scheduled practice this morning for 11 a.m, but it ended up starting late.

38 minutes after the scheduled practice was supposed to begin, the Bruins ended up starting their practice, but they were missing two players.
Both Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm were missing from practice, and now we know the reasoning.
With Zadorov and Lindholm not being present, the Bruins ended up changing their lines, and it could lead to changes for tomorrow's game.
Here were the new lines they were running:
Bruins practice lines:

Geekie-Khusnutdinov-Pastrnak
Mittelstadt-Zacha-Arvidsson
Jeannot-Minten-Eyssimont
Viel-Kuraly-Kastelic
Beecher

Callahan-McAvoy
Lohrei-Peeke
H. Lindholm-Jokiharju

Swayman
Korpisalo

Zadorov and E. Lindholm not on the ice today.

Sturm believes Zadorov and Lindholm will be good to go

Losing both Zadorov and Lindholm would be a big loss for the Bruins, but following practice, Sturm revealed some good news.
Sturm stated that both of the players are expected to play in tomorrow's game, but defenseman Hampus Lindholm is still questionable.
Sturm expects Zadorov and Elias Lindholm to be ready for tomorrow. Hampus still questionable
Already riding a six-game losing streak, losing both these players would be the cherry on top for the Bruins, especially with them playing against the Colorado Avalanche tomorrow evening.
Do you think the Boston Bruins would be in trouble if both Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm were absent from the lineup tomorrow?
