BOSTON — The Bruins are down another forward after Johnny Beecher suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday’s 3-2 overtime win over the Senators. Beecher took a hit from Kurtis MacDermid late in the first period and did not return.

Leevi Merilainen guarded the Sens' cage in the recent beatdown of the Bruins, but Ullmark is expected to get the call on Thursday. The veteran won both starts against his old mates last season, making 14 saves in November's 3-2 overtime win, and 22 saves in a 6-3 victory in March.
