Heading into Monday's game against the Lightning, Connolly is in line to fill in for Brad Marchand on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Eriksson.

EDGE Analysis

Through two games, Connolly has not recorded a point and has recorded a minus-4 rating, but a move up to Bergeron's line could spark an uptick in opportunities for the 23-year-old winger, who will face his former team on Monday. It remains to be seen how long the newly-formed trio will stick, but with that in mind, it's worth noting that Marchand is dealing with a concussion and at this stage it's unclear when he'll be back in action.
