This morning’s line rushes, per Boston Globe’s Fluto Shinzawa:
AM lines. No Acciari:
— Fluto Shinzawa (@GlobeFluto) November 10, 2016
Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Spooner-Krejci-Backes
Beleskey-Nash-Czarnik
Schaller-Moore-Hayes
I’m diggin’ the balance of strength - with David Pastrnak getting a little more ‘chippy’, and David Backes and Matt Beleskey on 2nd and 3rd lines respectively, there’s some engineered depth in the ‘bruising winger’ category. (If you want to call Pastrnak a bruising winger already, which... is a stretch. The suspension helped.)
Noel Acciari is still off-ice after leaving Tuesday’s game in the 3rd. Heal quick, kid!
And, defensive pairs:
Defense:

Chara-Carlo
Krug-McQuaid
Liles-Miller
Mike Loftus of the Patriot Ledger clued us into the powerplay setups:
Unit 1:
Ryan Spooner - Patrice Bergeron - David Backes
Torey Krug - David Krejci
Unit 2:
Brad Marchand - Matt Beleskey - David Pastrnak
John-Michael Liles - Austin Czarnik
No word on goalies, but expect to see a rested Tuukka Rask in net.
See you at gametime!
