The Boston Bruins will be making at least one change to their lineup for the second game of their six-game road trip.
Fourth line right wing Curtis Lazar, who suffered an upper body injury in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, will miss at least Saturday's game against the San Jose Sharks, the team announced.

The team is calling Lazar's injury day-to-day. He skated only 3:52 against Seattle, his final shift coming in the second period. In 44 games this season, his second with the Bruins, Lazar has six goals and seven assists for 13 points and a plus-3 rating.

Anton Blidh or Jesper Froden will skate in Lazar's place against the Sharks, coach Bruce Cassidy said. Blidh has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 28 games for the B's this season; Froden has played in only one prior game, a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Dec. 16, and didn't factor into the scoring.
Puck drop against the Sharks is at 10 p.m. Eastern.
