Islanders' Johnny Boychuk: Healthy scratch Tuesday

Boychuk will once again be a healthy scratch Tuesday versus the Bruins, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Tuesday will mark the third straight game that Boychuk has watched a game from the press box. Boychuk has recovered from his shoulder injury but was playing poorly prior, and right now coach Barry Trotz seems to prefer having Thomas Hickey in the lineup instead. Boychuk will next get a chance to play Thursday in Montreal.
