So, this is how the pregame skate coverage began on Twitter:

Not promising. Khudobin was the only goalie on the ice, until...
Second goalie at Bruins practice today is Keith Segee. From Revere, Mass. Played for Salem State College from 2004-06.

The skate was optional, so let’s hope Rask is somewhere hydrating and getting ready for the game tonight. Zane McIntyre will back up Anton Khudobin, as coach Bruce Cassidy reported that Tuukka is not available. A bit more clarity from Butch indicates that Kenny Agostino will get a chance, David Backes has been activated from illness, and Adam McQuaid is still the toughest mother, and is back in the lineup. Ryan Spooner, meanwhile, is sidelined for the foreseeable future. Patrice Bergeron is a game-time decision.
Kenny Agostino and Adam McQuaid will also be in the lineup, per Cassidy. #NHLBruins

Here’s the projected lineup - take it with a few tablespoons of salt, as no rushes were done today so we’re taking evidence from Wednesday’s practice (and I’m armchair-coaching this a little bit).

Kenny Agostino - David Backes - Frank Vatrano
Tim Schaller - Sean Kuraly - Matt Beleskey
