Projected lineups as the Bruins are on the road to face the Lightning
The Boston Bruins (16-2-0) are back on the road as they travel to Florida for an Atlantic Division matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning (11-6-1). Both teams will try to keep win streaks alive, as the Bruins come in with five consecutive wins and the Lightning right behind with four straight.
Special teams could play a huge factor in this one, as Boston comes in at 5th on the PP (28.8%) and second on the PK (89.6%), while Tampa is 8th on the PP (24.7%), but their PK has struggled a bit, sitting at 13th in the NHL (79.7%).
The Bruins took three of the four meetings last season, losing 3-2, then winning 5-2, 3-2 and 2-1.
As per the Bruins' morning skate, head coach Jim Montgomery may roll out some new looks combos up front and on the backend.
