BOSTON (CBS) - When the Bruins square off against the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night, rookie Tyler Seguin will be watching as a spectator.

Coach Claude Julien announced Seguin would be a "healthy scratch" for Wednesday night's game at the team's morning skate.

The second overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft, Seguin has 17 points in 51 games. He has seen less time on the ice in recent weeks, and has just one goal in the last 11 games.  

Julien told the press not to look too hard into the decision to rest the 19-year-old.  

Wednesday Night's Canadiens-Bruins game can be heard on 98.5 The Sports Hub with pre-game coverage starting at 6:30 p.m.
