Bruins-Panthers Game 6: Projected Lines, Defensive Pairings
Sign In
The Bruins on Friday will hope to repeat what they did in Game 5 and keep their season alive with a win over the Panthers in Game 6 at TD Garden.
Boston on Tuesday beat Florida at Amerant Bank Arena to continue the best-of-seven series. Charlie McAvoy stepped up for the Black and Gold and gave Brad Marchand a chance to play after missing two straight games.
The Bruins captain is expected to suit up, though head coach Jim Montgomery was cautious leading up to Game 6 and called the 36-year-old a game-time decision. Marchand is expected to line up with Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic. That will move Danton Heinen with Pavel Zacha and Justin Brazeau, and it will move James van Riemsdyk with John Beecher and Pat Maroon. While Montgomery didn’t name a starting goalie, it’s expected to be Jeremy Swayman again between the pipes.
Paul Maurice on Thursday teased possible lineup changes, and he’ll do exactly that by inserting Ryan Lomberg and Nick Cousins into the lineup for Steven Lorentz and Kyle Okposo.
