The Boston Bruins host the Columbus Blue Jackets in their first game of the home-and-home tonight and will have Craig Smith and Nick Foligno back in the lineup.
Smith and Foligno will slot back in on their respected lines. Smith missed Thursday’s game due to illness and Foligno was out with a lower-body injury. Foligno will also be honored tonight for his 1,000th game in a pre-game ceremony.
Marc McLaughlin and Anton Blidh are the healthy scratches from last game with the two forwards’ return.
Based on pairings from this morning’s skate, Mike Reilly will stay on the third pairing.
