The Bruins are expected to get a big boost on defense for Tuesday night's head-to-head with the Islanders at TD Garden.
The Boston Bruins placed Hampus Lindholm on injured reserve, retroactive to October 9, and recalled Jonathan Aspirot.
Bruins coach Marco Sturm said Jordan Harris, who first replaced Lindholm, won’t likely be back for a while. Sturm wasn’t sure if surgery was a possibility, but expected to know more this week. Jeremy Swayman will start in goal and Johnny Beecher will replace Jeffrey Viel in the lineup.
