Projected Lines: Rangers at Bruins

Boston Bruins

Forwards

Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak

Jake DeBrusk - David Krejci - Marcus Johansson / Karson Kuhlman

Danton Heinen - Charlie Coyle - Chris Wagner

Joakim Nordstrom - Noel Acciari - David Backes

Same predicament - Johansson wasn’t quite ready on Monday, so he didn’t go. Does he get delayed again? It’s looking like he will play. Does Kuhlman ride the 9th floor, or does someone come off the 4th line? Based on the morning skate, it’s Kuhlman on the bench.

Defense

Zdeno Chara - Charlie McAvoy

Torey Krug - Brandon Carlo

Connor Clifton - Steve Kampfer

Krug skated in full-contact jersey today, and he’s desparately needed. We hope they’re not rushing him back from a concussion to play, when an emergency call-up is a 90-minute drive away.
