Lohrei Returns as Bruins Face Maple Leafs at TD Garden

BOSTON –– The Boston Bruins will host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, with a puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m. at TD Garden. Defenseman Mason Lohrei is set to return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for five games. Lohrei contributed two assists in the Bruins’ 5-3 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

As the Bruins seek to extend their win streak to seven games, Lohrei emphasized the importance of getting back to his game. ‘I think just trying to get back to playing the game how I know how to. Obviously, sticking to the systems. Just kind of get back to playing free, playing confident,’ he said.

Lohrei is expected to pair with Henri Jokiharju on the third defensive line. Coach Marco Sturm confirmed that Charlie McAvoy, who missed Saturday’s game due to a family matter, will return to the first pairing with Nikita Zadorov.

Aspirot will sit out on Tuesday, but Sturm noted his performance, stating, ‘Aspirot did absolutely nothing wrong. I liked his game; he will be back at one point.’

The Bruins completed a full practice Monday to prepare for the divisional match. Sturm anticipates a strong response from the Maple Leafs after their recent loss. ‘I expect them to come out really, really hard. It’s a good team, and I know they want to respond, especially from the last two games,’ he said.
