Projected lineup for the Boston Bruins ahead of their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Tonight the Boston Bruins are set to host the Columbus Blue Jackets in TD Garden.

Last game wasn't a good one for the Boston Bruins as they ended up blowing a third period lead to the St. Louis Blues and losing 3-2 in overtime.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming off of an embarrassing 5-1 loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

Boston will be without one of their best defenseman as Hampus Lindholm suffered a brutal injury against the St. Louis Blues last week.

The Bruins will also be without Mark Kastelic after leaving their previous game with a lower-body injury and being listed as day-to-day.

The Boston Bruins already revealed that Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes tonight, after Korpisalo faced the Blues in their last game.

They will be getting some help on the blue line as Andrew Peeke is set to make his return to the lineup tonight.
