Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins Projected Lines And Combinations

The Boston Bruins are back in action tonight after a full-team effort in their recent win against the New York Islanders before enjoying some family time for American Thanksgiving.

Coming off their previous 6-3 win the Bruins are looking to gain some momentum from that recent win as they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight who have also been struggling.

Ever since firing Jim Montgomery the Boston Bruins have won three out of their four games under head coach Joe Sacco.

Sacco today confirmed that Jeremy Swayman will get the start in net tonight, but that will be the only change, he confirmed they Bruins will be sticking with the exact same roster as they had against the New York Islanders.

This matchup will also mark Matt Grzelcyk's first return to TD Garden after leaving the Boston Bruins in free agency and signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Pittsburgh Penguins currently sit dead last in the Metropolitan Division with 20 points in 24 games, and are looking to turn their season around after beating the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in their last game before Thanksgiving.

Here are the projected lines and defensive pairings for Boston and Pittsburgh.
