With Brandon Carlo and Derek Forbort expected to return to the ice Saturday night against the Canadiens, the Bruins reshuffled their roster hours ahead of puck drop.
Boston added both Carlo and Forbort to the active roster Saturday, with the team sending rookies Mason Lohrei and Johnny Beecher to the Providence Bruins in a corresponding move.
Saturday will mark Forbort’s first game since Dec. 3, with the veteran blueliner spending the last six weeks on long-term injured reserve due to a nagging lower-body injury.
Carlo has missed the last five games after suffering a concussion during Boston’s shootout loss to the Avalanche on Jan.
