Studnicka will be back in the Bruins lineup on Monday.

Line Change
Studnicka will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Studnicka started the season on the first line but will already get scratched in favour of Anders Bjork. Craig Smith will make his Bruins debut and replace him in the lineup but Bjork will be on the top pair with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Goalie Start
Kuemper starts the Coyotes season opener vs. the Sharks.
Kuemper was 16-11-2 with a 2.22 GAA and .928 SV% in 29 games in 2020. Kuemper has been terrific over the last two seasons, posting a 2.29 GAA and .926 SV% in 84 starts. Kuemper is one of the best goalies in the league but has little help in front of him, which will limit his upside in 2021. In his only start vs. the Sharks a season ago, Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots in a winning effort.
The Blue Jackets have signed Vladislav Gavrikov to a three-year deal worth $8.4 million ($2.8M AAV).
The Avalanche signed Kyle Burroughs to a one-year, two-way deal.
The Hurricanes signed Warren Foegele to a one-year contract worth $2.15 million.
The Flames have signed Glenn Gawdin to one-year, two-way contract ($700K).
The Canadiens have signed Joel Edmundson to a four-year deal worth $14.0 million ($3.5M AAV).
Edmundson was acquired from the Hurricanes last week and quickly got a deal done with the Canadiens. This contract includes a 10-team no trade clause and will keep Edmundson in Montreal through the 2024 campaign. The 27-year-old is coming off of a career-high 20 points (7G / 13A) in 68 games.
The Canadiens have acquired the rights to Joel Edmundson from the Hurricanes in exchange for a 2020 5th round draft pick.
Edmundson is a pending unrestricted free agent that just wasn't a part of the future of the Hurricanes blueline. In Montreal however, Edmundson will help bolster a left-side that features Ben Chiarot (2 years left), Brett Kulak (2 years), Victor Mete (RFA) and the up-and-coming Alexander Romanov (2 years). It will be interesting to see if Montreal has plans to move any of them to loosen up the logjam. Edmundson doesn't provide a lot offensively but led the Hurricanes' blueline in hits (118) and was tied for second in blocked shots (91) in 2020.
