Game Details:

Boston Bruins (0-0-0) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (1-0-0, 2 pts)
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
TV: TNT
Boston Bruins Notes:

Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has confirmed that the talented Linus Ullmark, the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner, will be guarding the net tonight in this special Centennial opener.

Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy had a witty response to a comparison with Bruins legend Ray Bourque: "Yeah, well then, I should start shooting the puck more." Keep an eye on McAvoy to take some shots tonight.

Look out for Bruins rookies Matt Poitras and John Beecher, who are set to make their mark in tonight's game.

Chicago Blackhawks Notes:

After a solid performance by goalie Petr Mrazek, who made 38 saves in a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night, it's now Arvid Soderblom's turn to shine in the Blackhawks' net tonight.

The Blackhawks have some familiar faces in their lineup with former Boston Bruins wingers Ryan Donato and Taylor Hall. They're joined by rookie sensation Conor Bedard, who earned his first point with an assist on Tuesday.

Also, keep an eye on former Bruins winger Nick Foligno, who made an impact in the game against the Penguins. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery had some emotional words about Foligno's presence in Boston.
