The Bruins will get a huge boost tonight when they open their road trip in Flin Flon.
Both Josh Jelinski and Connor Milligan will return to the lineup after sitting out more than a month each with concussions. Both players skated this morning in Flin Flon and were cleared to play.
There was a good chance of Milligan returning this weekend, after he was close to playing last weekend, but Jelinski is a surprise to me.
It's crucial timing for both of them, with a tough trip to Flin Flon and Nipawin this weekend. This 3-in-3 trip is a huge test for the Bruins and they need the leadership that both guys bring.
They will be eased back into the lineup, but it can't be stated how important their presence is for this team.
No word on how far away Eric Baldwin is from coming off the shelf.
