DeBrusk skated on the Bruins' fourth line with Erik Haula and Curtis Lazar during the team's morning skate in advance of Tuesday night's game against the Red Wings, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Additionally, DeBrusk worked on Boston's second power-play unit and appears poised to re-enter the lineup after having been a healthy scratch Sunday against Vancouver. That said, the 25-year-old has requested a trade and his days with Boston may be numbered. In 17 games this season, the 2015 first-rounder has recorded three goals and six points, numbers that make DeBrusk a marginal fantasy option.

DeBrusk will not play Sunday against Vancouver, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Cassidy has often made it clear when he's been unhappy with DeBrusk's performance, and this is one of those times. The winger, who has recorded three goals and three assists in 17 games this season, figures to be back in the lineup after a game or two upstairs.

DeBrusk posted an assist and five shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk helped out on the second of Charlie Coyle's two third-period tallies. The 25-year-old DeBrusk has started to warm up again with a goal and an assist in the last two games after going seven contests without a point. The winger has four points, 24 shots and a minus-3 rating through 13 games overall.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk tallied what proved to be the game winner when he split the defense and picked the top corner to give Boston a 4-1 lead 5:41 into the second period. It was the second goal of the year for DeBrusk, who logged just under 16 minutes on the Bruins' third line.

DeBrusk scored the go-ahead goal and had two shots with two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk found a loose puck on the doorstep and swatted it past Dallas netminder Braden Holtby to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead just under five minutes into the third period. It was the first goal of the year for the 24-year-old DeBrusk, who scored 19 times and added 16 helpers in 65 games last season. He lined up on the left side of Boston's third line with Erik Haula and Nick Foligno, a veteran trio to be sure, but one that could limit DeBrusk's offensive ceiling.

DeBrusk was fined $5,000 by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for his cross-check on the Islanders' Scott Mayfield in Game 2 on Monday, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk's fine won't impact his availability for Game 3 on Thursday, so he should resume his normal role on the second line and get sprinkled in on the power play. The Edmonton native scored a goal in each of the first two games against Washington in Round 1 but has been held out of the goal column in the five games since, producing a lone assist during that span.

DeBrusk scored a goal on five shots Monday in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Capitals in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Charlie Coyle made a superb play to set up the goal, driving wide and getting Washington goalie Craig Anderson to over-commit before circling behind the net and centering to DeBrusk for an easy tap-in. The goal, which opened the scoring 5:05 into the game, was the second of the series for DeBrusk, who scored just five times in 41 regular-season appearances.

DeBrusk scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Curtis Lazar won a faceoff to DeBrusk, who beat Capitals goalie Vitek Vanecek (lower body) for the Bruins' first goal. DeBrusk was noticeably more engaged on both offense and defense in Game 1 despite filling a fourth-line role. The winger has often seen top-six usage in his career, but the addition of Taylor Hall at the trade deadline has cut into DeBrusk's playing time. The 24-year-old had a career-low 14 points in just 41 appearances in the regular season.

DeBrusk will play Saturday against Buffalo after being a healthy scratch Thursday (also against Buffalo).

EDGE Analysis

It'll be interesting to see if the time as a healthy scratch lights a fire under the fourth-year NHLer. DeBrusk only has 11 points in 34 games after a 19-goal, 35-point showing (in 65 games) last season, so the B's could really use some production from him in the last couple weeks of the season.

DeBrusk is set to be a healthy scratch Tuesday night against the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

With DeBrusk being sent to the press box, Trent Frederic will draw back into Boston's lineup. Through 34 contests, DeBrusk has scored just four goals and notched 11 points. When referring to Tuesday's lineup move, coach Bruce Cassidy noted that "we need a higher compete level" from DeBrusk, who thus far has failed to consistency produce the level of secondary scoring he's proved capable of in the past.
