According to a Boston Bruins insider, two intriguing names are still battling for a roster spot tonight.
The Boston Bruins are set to play in two more preseason games before the regular season begins, and it seems like tonight's game is the last chance that these two players can make a name for them to make the NHL roster out of camp.
Following their previous game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Marco Sturm stated that he plans on playing the NHL roster in their final game against the New York Rangers on Saturday.

Saturdays lineup against the Rangers could be a roster we see on opening night so time's running out on this pair of younger forwards to prove they can hang at this level on a regular basis.
