DeBrusk been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will draw back into the Bruins lineup on Saturday. DeBrusk will replace Trent Frederic in the lineup and comes in with four goals and seven assists and 34 games this season.
DeBrusk has gone goalless in his last nine games, picking up three assists while playing 14:10 ATOI. DeBrusk will be replaced by Sean Kuraly on the third line and Trent Frederic in the lineup.
Gallagher fractured his thumb on Monday and will miss at least six weeks. Placing him on LTIR gives the Canadiens some cap flexibility heading into the trade deadline that they otherwise wouldn't have had. This is obviously a big loss but it could prove to be a positive if they can add another impact player with the new found cap room.
