Need To Know: Bruins vs. Canucks

The Bruins look to get back on track tonight with a win tonight in Vancouver. "For us, it's just about getting back on track," said Sacco. "I say it all the time, but playing the right way, playing the style or the game that fits us best and staying committed to it for the whole 60 minutes now, not just 25, 30 or 40 minutes."

Lineup Changes:

• Marc McLaughlin will be back in the lineup tonight replacing Tyler Johnson.
• Mason Lohrei will re-enter the lineup replacing Parker Wotherspoon.
• Jeremy Swayman will be in net tonight vs. the Canucks.

Wahlstrom Off Waviers:

• The Bruins claimed Oliver Wahlstrom off Waviers on Saturday afternoon. "We made a claim on him today...I was just notified before we went on the ice," said Sacco following Saturday's morning skate. "As far as specifics, when he'll join, I don't know that hasn't been determined yet."
• Wahlstrom, 24, has appeared in 27 games with the New York Islanders during the 2024-25 season, recording two goals and two assists for four points.
• The 6-foot-2, 205-pound forward has appeared in 220 career NHL games, all with New York, totaling 36 goals and 35 assists for 71 points.
