Overview

• Pavel Zacha and Charlie McAvoy, key players for the Boston Bruins, have returned from injuries and will play in the game against the Minnesota Wild.
• Zacha, who has scored eight goals and 19 points in 26 games, was out for three games due to an upper-body injury.
• McAvoy, leading Bruins defensemen this season with three goals and 17 points in 21 games, was absent for the past four games.
• Zacha is expected to rejoin Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak on the No. 1 line.
• If McAvoy returns, he would skate with Matt Grzelcyk on the top defensive pairing.
