Aaron Johnson will fill in for injured defenseman Adam McQuaid on Boston's blueline.
The Bruins may try to get something done on the trade market to patch up their injured ranks as longer-term solution, but for now Johnson will return to the fold. He has skated in five games with Boston this season, while posting 10 hits, four penalty minutes and no points.

Aaron Johnson went to Providence on Monday for a conditioning stint, but found out that he was not allowed a second rehab assignment later in the day.
He had already gone down at the start of the season, so he'll have to wait for his next opportunity to play in Boston's lineup. "It's not too bad. It's a great group of guys, we're doing a lot of drills in game situations with (assistant coach Doug Houda)," said Johnson. "This is all part of my situation and it's all kind of what I signed up for and I'm ready to do whatever it takes. If it means waiting a month until I get to play, it's OK. It's just up to me to stay ready." He has a one-year, two-way deal with the Bruins and would have to clear waivers to be sent down to AHL Providence.

Aaron Johnson has played well the past two games while filling for Adam McQuaid.
McQuaid will be available to play against Buffalo Thursday after he missed games on Monday and Tuesday due to the passing of his grandmother. There's a chance that Johnson could play again on Thursday, but if McQuaid is mentally prepared to play then we think he'll probably get the nod. Johnson also played two contests this campaign, while Dennis Seidenberg recovered from a lower-body injury.

In his first two appearances in a Bruins' uniform, Johnson has logged nearly 14 minutes of ice time, while picking up three shots, three hits and two blocks. When Seidenberg is able to return, Johnson will probably return to the press box.

Aaron Johnson doesn't have a lot of time to make his case for an opening night roster spot.
The journeyman defenseman signed a two-way contract with the Bruins this offseason, and he didn't play abroad, so he's coming in a bit cold. Even with Adam McQuaid's status uncertain after October surgery to remove a blood clot, the Bruins have other prospects who could make the club. I'm just trying to take it day-by-day. I did a good job of skating as much as possible in Dallas," said Johnson. "You just prepare as best as you can and hopefully go out and have a good camp."
