The Boston Bruins will be without yet another defenseman for Saturday's afternoon affair with the Ottawa Senators, as Colin Miller has been ruled out with a lower-body injury, according to Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe.
Miller left Game 1 after a knee-on-knee collision with Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.
Joe Morrow, a key return in the trade that sent Tyler Seguin to Dallas, will slot into the lineup for Miller, forming a defense corps that is projected to look like this, according to the team:
| LD | RD |
|---|---|
| Zdeno Chara | Charlie McAvoy |
| John-Michael Liles | Adam McQuaid |
| Joe Morrow | Kevan Miller |
In addition to Miller, the club is also missing Brandon Carlo (upper body) and Torey Krug (lower body) from the back end. Luckily, the 19-year-old McAvoy shined in his NHL debut in Game 1, logging over 24 minutes of ice time.
Dupont also reported that center David Krejci will miss a second consecutive game with an upper-body injury. Ryan Spooner will again serve as the club's second-line center.
