The Boston Bruins activated defenseman Adam McQuaid off injured reserve, the club announced Tuesday.
He is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
McQuaid has not played since Jan. 5 after sustaining an upper-body injury on a hit from Washington Capitals forward Zach Sill, for which Sill was handed a two-game suspension.
The 29-year-old has one goal and five assists in 38 games this season.
Colin Miller has been assigned to the AHL's Providence Bruins to coincide with McQuaid's return.
Miller, 23, recorded three goals and 12 assists in 39 games with Boston this season.
