Projected lineups as the Bruins visit the New York Rangers at MSG
The Boston Bruins are looking to become the first NHL team to 10 wins on the 2022-23 season as they continue their road trip against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
The Bruins (9-1-0) are looking for their seventh straight win against the Rangers (6-3-2), who have won three consecutive coming into Thursday night.
Tonight has the opportunity to be a goaltending matchup, as Linus Ullmark (7-0-0) and the reigning Vezina winner Igor Shesterkin (6-0-2) have yet to lose in regulation. Ullmark comes in with a 2.19 GAA and a .932 SV%, while Shesterkin is very close with a 2.22 GAA and a .921 SV%.
The Bruins will be without David Krejci, Derek Forbort, Craig Smith, Jeremy Swayman and Charlie McAvoy due to injuries, while the Rangers are without Filip Chytil and Vitali Kravtsov.
