Despite not being available for Saturday's game, DeBrusk's injury isn't as bad as originally feared. With DeBrusk out, Craig Smith is expected to move up to the top line, and Trent Frederic will replace Smith on the third line.

Head coach Jim Montgomery has stated that the 25-year-old left-winger had left the teams opening matchup against Washington after an upper-body injury. Debrusk managed two hits and three shots on goal before leaving prematurely with 11:06 TOI. The Bruins will update on the severity of the injury in the upcoming days.

Kravtsov left Tuesday's game in the first period and did not return. He will not make the trip to Minnesota or Winnipeg but could be back for next week's game vs. Anaheim. Alexis Lafreniere moved up to the second line after Kravtsov left the game.

Boeser underwent hand surgery in late September and is expected to be back one week earlier than originally expected. Boeser skated on the top line with J.T. Miller and Tanner Pearson and on the second power-play unit in Tuesday's practice.

Boeser suffered a hand injury in Saturday's training camp session and underwent surgery on Monday. Boeser is expected to miss the first 1-to-2 weeks of the regular season. Boeser's injury will open the door for someone like Conor Garland or Nils Hoglander to move up into the Canucks' top-6 for a short period of time.



Chytil was hurt last Thursday against the Islanders and missed Saturday's game in Boston. However, he was on the ice for Monday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday, so there's a good chance he's back in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes.

Chytil suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Thursday and is not expected to play Saturday in Boston. With both Chytil and Andrew Copp (lower-body) not likely to be available, look for two of Jonny Brodzinski, Greg McKegg and/or Julien Gauthier to draw into the lineup.

Boeser missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Monday vs. the Stars. Boeser has gone pointless in his last four games and has just 10 points (4G / 6A) in his 20 games.

Gallagher has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 17th but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Senators. It's unclear who he will skate with but he enters play with just five goals and nine assists (14 points) in 43 games this season.

Gallagher will miss 4-to-5 games after picking up a lower-body injury in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. With Jonathan Drouin also out for an extended period of time, the Canadiens scoring depth will be tested.

Gallagher missed Saturday's game vs. the Senators with a lower-body injury and will miss Monday's game vs. the Bruins due to an illness.
