Jake DeBrusk has been ruled out of Saturday's home opener against the Arizona Coyotes with an upper-body injury. The injury doesn't appear to be as serious as first feared, however.

Trent Frederic will draw into the lineup and Jeremy Swayman will start the still very winnable game. Keep an eye on former Bruins winger Nick Ritchie, though.

Plus, Matt Grzelyck is nearing a return, we're still waiting for a David Pastrnak extension, and host Ian McLaren will be keeping an eye on Bruins' 2nd round pick Matthew Poitras in Guelph tonight.
