Lines, roster updates and starting goaltenders for Bruins-Jets game
The 9th-ranked Bruins look to take down the 16th-ranked Jets on Friday night.
After suffering what was a hard-fought 4-2 loss to the Wild on Wednesday, the Bruins (37-19-5) will look to get right back on track by visiting the Winnipeg Jets (28-23-10).
As we reported earlier, Bruins second-rounder Jack Studnicka will be slotting in on the team's top line tonight, a huge role considering he's filling in for star centreman Patrice Bergeron.
Between the pipes, Boston is turning to Linus Ullmark for tonight's matchup in Winnipeg. The Bruins took the season's first matchup against the Jets, back on Janaury 22 at TD Garden, but it was now-retired Tuuka Rask who was in net for that one.
Boston forward Anton Blidh will be a healthy scratch. Unless the B's pull off any other last-minute changes, here are tonight's expected lines:
Brad Marchand � Jack Studnicka � Jake Debrusk
Taylor Hall � Erik Haula � David Pastrnak
Trent Frederic � Charlie Coyle � Craig Smith
Nick Foligno � Tomas Nosek � Curtis Lazar
Mike Reilly � Charlie McAvoy
Matthew Grzelcyk � Brandon Carlo
Derek Forbort � Connor Clifton
Linus Ullmark
Jeremy Swayman
As for the Jets, they are expected to start Connor Hellebuyck in net for tonight's 8pm ET puck drop at the Canada Life Centre.
