The Boston Bruins have announced two different roster moves ahead of their game against the Utah Hockey Club, including a move with a top-six forward.

The Boston Bruins are paying a visit to Salt Lake City's Delta Center Saturday night for the first time, getting ready to take on the Utah Hockey Club.

Close to puck drop Boston Bruins head coach revealed that the Bruins are "making a couple switches up front" but wouldn't reveal what the changes are. But during Friday's practice the Bruins made some notable changes to their lines where they saw Justin Brazeau placed with Charlie Coyle, and Brad Marchand.

Another change they made was with a top-six forward in Morgan Geekie, who has played on the second line in every game he has appeared in so far this season, but now he will get demoted to the third line alongside Matthew Poitras, and Trent Frederic.

Jeremy Swayman will get the start for the Boston Bruins tonight who has gone 2-1-0 in his first three starts this season with a 2.98 goals against average and a .893 save percentage.

The Boston Bruins are looking to win back-to-back games for the second time this season, while Utah is looking to avoid losing three straight games as they currently sit third in the central division.

Boston Bruins projected lineup:

Pavel Zacha - Elias Lindholm - David Pastrnak
Justin Brazeau - Charlie Coyle - Brad Marchand
Morgan Geekie - Matthew Poitras - Trent Frederic
John Beecher - Mark Kastelic - Cole Koepke

Nikita Zadorov - Charlie McAvoy
Hampus Lindholm - Brandon Carlo
