Charlie McAvoy, Derek Forbort Back Together For Bruins Vs. Canucks

Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy decided to bring Derek Forbort up to the first defensive line alongside Charlie McAvoy.

Connor Clifton was a healthy scratch as Mike Reilly and Jakob Zboril remain the third line pairing.

McAvoy and Forbort have been a solid match on the ice together and Cassidy is hopeful that will be the case vs. the Canucks on Sunday night.
