BUFFALO — Morgan Geekie, proud son of Manitoba farm country, has found both a home and his goal-scoring touch of late, firing on the Bruins’ top-producing line with Czech standouts Pavel Zacha at center and David Pastrnak at right wing.

The Bruins are set to receive a lift in the coming days, as Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy were regular participants in practice Monday.

For this matchup against the Sabres, the Bruins' forward group will be getting a boost. This is because forward Cole Koepke will be back in the lineup after missing each of the Bruins' last five games.

The Bruins currently sit on the cusp of a playoff spot, but they have played more games than their opponents, and Brad Marchand's name has come up in trade talks.

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.

Former Ottawa Senator Joonas Korppisalo pitched a shutout against his old team and the Bruins won 2-0 t the Garden.

As far-fetched as it may seem at this point for the Bruins to trade Marchand, it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility. Bruins fans would no doubt hate it, but it could help the future of the organization, and also allow Marchand a chance at another Cup.

The Bruins have not had Lindholm and McAvoy anchoring their D corps together since the former suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 12 against the Blues.
