Preview:
Another Flortheast division matchup tonight, this time against the team directly ahead of the Bruins in the standings. The Bruins delivered Tampa one of their two losses already this season, beating Anders Lindback on opening night for a 3-1 win. They'll see a few changes tonight, including in goal: Ben Bishop will get the start at the Tampa Bay Times Forum tonight.
There's been no indication that Brad Marchand will slide back up to his spot on the second line, and really, he shouldn't. Reilly Smith looked great in Thursday's game against the Panthers, on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Eriksson - and has the numbers to back that up.
Still no word on who will sit for Carl Soderberg, if anyone.
On defense, the Adam McQuaid-less Bruins looked decent Thursday night. It'd be good to see that experiment again against the Lightning tonight. In net, Tuukka Rask opted out of morning skate, and will likely be tonight's starter. (Anyone want to start betting on when we'll see Chad Johnson get his first start?)
Here is Raw Charge's game preview.
NEVER FORGET:
A shorthanded penalty shot goal! How ridiculous.
