The Bruins will get a boost on their blue line on Thursday night, as defenseman Charlie McAvoy will rejoin the lineup when Boston hosts the Winnipeg Jets at TD Garden.

Trying to bounce back from yet another brutal loss, the Bruins could be getting their best all-around defenseman back for Thursday's game against the Jets.

A debate has arisen regarding whether the Boston Bruins should demote top defenseman Charlie McAvoy once he returns to the lineup. Charlie McAvoy has been out of the lineup since Jan.

Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo will both be back on the Bruins blue line leaving Hampus Lindholm as the only defenseman missing. Mark Kastelic remains out of the lineup, but there was good news on him as well as he was back at morning skate on Thursday.

Unfortunately, it ended up being another long night for the Bruins, as they lost to the Jets by a 6-2 final score. With this, they now have a 25-22-6 record this season. View the original article to see embedded media.

The Bruins will be making some interesting changes to their lineup for this matchup against Winnipeg. Most notably, star defenseman Charlie McAvoy will return to the Bruins' lineup against Winnipeg, with Mason Lohrei as his partner.
