The Boston Bruins will be without yet another defenseman for Saturday's afternoon affair with the Ottawa Senators, as Colin Miller has been ruled out with a lower-body injury, according to Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe.

Miller left Game 1 after a knee-on-knee collision with Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.

Joe Morrow, a key return in the trade that sent Tyler Seguin to Dallas, will slot into the lineup for Miller, forming a defense corps that is projected to look like this, according to the team:

LD RD
Zdeno Chara Charlie McAvoy
John-Michael Liles Adam McQuaid
Joe Morrow Kevan Miller

In addition to Miller, the club is also missing Brandon Carlo (upper body) and Torey Krug (lower body) from the back end. Luckily, the 19-year-old McAvoy shined in his NHL debut in Game 1, logging over 24 minutes of ice time.

Dupont also reported that center David Krejci will miss a second consecutive game with an upper-body injury. Ryan Spooner will again serve as the club's second-line center.
