The Boston Bruins are taking on the Winnipeg Jets as their first team they are facing on their West Coast trip and are riding a four game win streak.
During their last game the Bruins showed perseverance as they came back from being down 3-1 going into the third period to win in overtime. David Pastrnak was dealing with an upper-body injury following the game that forced him to miss practice on Monday, but Joe Sacco confirmed that Pastrnak will play.
The Bruins are expected to rock the same lineup that they played on Saturday against the Flyers, which has been really good for the Bruins in the two games they have played.
The Boston Bruins will be put to the test tonight as they are set to face one of the top teams in the league, but the Jets have lost five of their last seven games, so the Bruins have a good chance to beat them.
Puck drop is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. ET.
Here are the projected lines and defensive pairings for Boston and Winnipeg.
