The Bruins are set to finish their first back-to-back of the season on Sunday night, facing the Seattle Kraken at TD Garden.
Boston heads into the game with confidence after a solid 3-0 win over the Flyers on Saturday, a much-needed response after Philadelphia shut them out on home ice just days before.
With Joonas Korpisalo likely resting after his 20-save performance in Philly, Jeremy Swayman is expected in net against Seattle. He'll be aiming to recover from his rough outing Thursday, where he allowed six goals against Carolina.
According to NESN here's a look at the projected lines and defense pairings for Sunday's matchup:
BRUINS (5-6-1)
Brad Marchand - Elias Lindholm - David Pastrnak
Pavel Zacha - Charlie Coyle - Justin Brazeau
Trent Frederic - Matthew Poitras - Morgan Geekie
John Beecher - Mark Kastelic - Cole Koepke
