The Boston Bruins are getting ready to take on former Boston Bruins fan favourite goaltender Linus Ullmark for the first time since being traded to the Ottawa Senators.
The Bruins did not hold a practice today as they had one yesterday, and we are not exactly 100% on whether or not there will be some lineup changes heading into the game tonight.
This is all speculation but we think they are going to run similar lines to what they did when they had practice on Friday.
Friday's practice saw the exact same lines as the Bruins had during their 4-3 overtime win against the Calgary Flames.
Take a look:
Jeremy Swayman is slated to be the Boston Bruins starting goaltender, and is set to face his best friend at the other end of the ice, as Linus Ullmark is set to be the starting goaltender for the Ottawa Senators tonight.
It has been confirmed that Bruins forward Morgan Geekie will once again be a healthy scratch for the Boston Bruins.
Boston Bruins fans may see an emotional goalie hug at the end of the game between Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark.
You can watch the game on NESN, puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern.
Swayman spoke on the possibility of it happening the other day, but would not reveal whether or not it will happen.
Fans will have to watch in order to find out if it does happen or not.
