The Boston Bruins enter tonight's game on a five game losing skid, and will look to snap it against the Anaheim Ducks.
Anaheim has been a sneaky good team this year, and the Bruins are going to have a tough matchup tonight, especially with two defenseman missing from the lineup.
Boston is going to be without Jordan Harris tonight after being placed on injury reserve yesterday.
Along with that, they may be without defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who has been listed as a game time decision by head coach Marco Sturm.
Starting goaltender and projected lines
Sturm made it official that he is turning to Joonas Korpisalo tonight.
Korpisalo is making his fourth start of the season tonight against the Ducks. So far he hasn't been too good for the Bruins posting a 1-2-0 record with a 3.35 GAA, and a .865 SV%.
Joonas Korpisalo gets the #Bruins net tonight vs. the Ducks. Hampus Lindholm officially a game-time decision but it feels likely he will be a scratch, paving the way for Michael Callahan's season debut.
Now, Korpisalo isn't entirely to blame for those numbers, as his defense in front of him hasn't helped him much, but he hasn't helped his own case either.
The Bruins have made some changes up front as well. Jeffrey Viel will be moved up to the third line with Tanner Jeannot and Fraser Minten.
Both Marat Khusnutdinov, and John Beecher will be scratched for the game.
Michael Callahan also looks to make his debut tonight for the Bruins if Hampus Lindholm is out.
Here are the projected lineups:
Geekie-Lindholm-Pastrnak
Mittelstadt-Zacha-Arvidsson
Jeannot-Minten-Viel
Eyssimont-Kuraly-Kastelic
Lohrei-McAvoy
Zadorov-Peeke
