PREGAME NOTES: 

Boston's D corps is going to be seriously shorthanded for this one. Already without Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo, the B's will also be without Matt Grzelcyk — who exited Saturday's loss to the Flyers due to an upper body injury — and Kevan Miller, who will be held out of the second leg of the back-to-back slate in order to rest that surgically-repaired knee. Jack Ahcan and Jarred Tinordi will slot into the lineup for Boston.

Dan Vladar will start in net for Boston. No changes up front.
