BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins are without the services of David Krejci, Brad Marchand and Chris Kelly on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden.
The Bruins recalled forwards Jordan Caron and Matt Lindblad from Providence of the AHL. Lindblad was in Boston's lineup Saturday night, while Caron was a healthy scratch. The Bruins also assigned defenseman Zach Trotman to the P-Bruins.
Krejci missed his second consecutive game and 11th overall because of an ongoing, undisclosed injury. Marchand will miss his third straight game, and earlier Saturday, he was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. The IR designation is retroactive to Sunday, meaning Marchand is eligible to return to action Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Krejci participated in the team's pregame warm-up before Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but he was a game-time scratch. He last played during Tuesday's 2-0 win over the St. Louis Blues.
