said<\/a> on Saturday. \u201cWe just have to wait until we get back to Boston to see how long. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be too long; we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\nAspirot and Arvidsson didn\u2019t practice on Saturday, which wasn\u2019t a good sign for their chances to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Along with Aspirot and Arvidsson, forward Pavel Zacha is also dealing with an injury. He didn\u2019t skate on Saturday, but Sturm called it a maintenance day and expects him to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cShould be ready for tomorrow,\u201d Sturm said about Zacha.<\/p>\n
The Bruins are 2-0 on their three-game road trip and are looking for the sweep on Sunday. Yet, Sturm makes it clear the team has to come out firing, especially after Minnesota pulled off a blockbuster trade on Friday to acquire Quinn Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have a job to do,\u201d Sturm said. \u201cI think that\u2019s one of those standards and culture, we want to stay with it. It\u2019s been around for a long time \u2013 we want to stay focused on practices just like today. Even if you win a few games, things shouldn\u2019t change. \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201c\u200bThey made a pretty aggressive trade last night, so we just have to make sure we\u2019re going to be ready to go tomorrow, because that building will be buzzing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boston enters play with a record of 19-13-0 and in third place in the Atlantic Division. Puck drop between Boston and Minnesota is set for 6 p.m. ET with pregame coverage on NESN beginning at 5 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
