Per the team’s official Twitter account, here are your lines from the morning skate:
#NHLBruins morning rushes:
— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) January 3, 2019
Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - (Backes) - Donato
Heinen - Cave - JFK
Kuraly - Acciari - Wagner
Chara - Carlo
Krug - Moore
Grzelcyk - Miller
Backes drew into Krejci’s spot while Krejci was busy at the hospital - he and his wife Naomi welcomed a son into the world this morning. Congratulations, Krech! He’ll still play tonight, so don’t panic, Backes is not your second-line center. It would be pretty special to get a hat trick the day your son is born, David. Just sayin’.
Lacking a morning skate due to playing yesterday, Calgary’s lineup figures to look fairly similar to what they iced against Detroit last night:
Forwards
Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Elias Lindholm
Matthew Tkachuk - Mikael Backlund - Michael Frolik
Sam Bennett - Mark Jankowski - James Neal
Dillon Dube - Derek Ryan - Garnet Hathaway

Oliver Kylington - Rasmus Anderssen
Goalies
