BOSTON — Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco had plenty to sort out when he met with the media after morning skate ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Lightning at TD Garden. Two players were called up, two were placed on injured reserve and a third was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve. Sacco explained:

Coyle will start the game on the third line on the wing with Matt Poitras, who returns at center and Trent Frederic. Vinni Lettieri will play his first game in Boston this season in Coyle’s regular spot with Elias Lindholm and Brad Marchand. Oliver Wahlstrom will sit out with Coyle available.

"I think his game is in a better place right now. He’s a guy that deserves an opportunity, based on his play.” The post Bruins call up Matt Poitras, Charlie McAvoy lands on IR appeared first on Boston.

According to interim coach Joe Sacco, the physical forward is out with an illness. Frederic’s absence leaves the Bruins without one of their most physical players. He has seven goals and seven assists in 47 games. The Bruins are now missing, Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Cole Koepke and Frederic.

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice this afternoon to face the San Jose Sharks. After an ugly shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators last game, the Bruins will aim to bounce back and secure two points.

Lindholm has been a 22-point flop. He is signed for six more seasons with no-move protection through 2029. Lindholm, 30, is practically untradeable, even if the Bruins eat part of his remaining salary.
