DeBrusk (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup versus New Jersey on Tuesday, but is officially considered a game-time call.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk missed the Bruins' previous five outings due to his lower-body problem and will need to be activated off injured reserve prior to playing. The Edmonton native may be eased back into action to start, but figures to be in contention for a top-six role once back up to full game speed. In 15 appearances this year, the 22-year-old notched three goals, three assists and 34 shots and should provide quality fantasy value once given the all-clear.

DeBrusk (lower body) won't be in the lineup for the Bruins' upcoming back-to-back versus Toronto and Washington on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk notched three goals and two assists in eight games prior to getting hurt, providing the club with some scoring outside of the top line. Despite the missed time, the winger should still be in contention for a third straight 40-plus point campaign this year. An uptick in power-play minutes compared to his two prior seasons could set him up to top his career-best 43 points from his rookie year.

Goal-scoring has come slowly for DeBrusk to start the season, with only one through the team's first 11 games.

The goal came late in the first period off a battle behind the net won by Charlie Coyle, who backhanded the pass out in front of the net for DeBrusk to direct in. Currently with a shooting percentage of 4.3%, the third-year winger should start hitting the back of the net soon.
