The Boston Bruins are back in action Monday night as they host the Florida Panthers for the first half of a back-to-back.
Tonight's matchup will be the Panthers' final game of a three-game road trip to open their season, as they started the season with wins against the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders. Both teams are just two of nine teams in the NHL that are still undefeated and will be trying to keep those records intact.
This will be the Bruins' first divisional matchup, and it could be a tough one against the reigning Presidents' Trophy winners. And injury woes continue to pile up, as they are now without Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, Matthew Grzelcyk and Brandon Carlo for the time being.
These are the expected lines for tonight's tough matchup:
Hall-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Zacha-Krejci-Pastrnak
Frederic-Coyle-Greer
Foligno-Nosek-Smith
Lindholm-Reilly
Forbort-Clifton
Zboril-Renouf
Ullmark
As per Joe Pohoryles, who covers the Bruins for NHL.com:
Montgomery also added that he's leaning towards putting Pastrnak back with Krejci and Zacha, but didn't rule out a midgame switch (as was done Sat., slotting Pasta with Bergeron/Hall)
''Whether they start together or not, if I don't like what I'm seeing, I'm gonna switch it.''
Puck drop is set for 7 pm EST.
