Tonight the Boston Bruins are continuing their two-game road trip and will be facing the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Thursday.
Last game was one of the Boston Bruins best games of the season as they came back from being down 2-0 in the third period and came back to win 3-2 against the St. Louis Blues.
Dallas is coming off a dominant 7-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday where they ended up scoring six goals in the first period.
Boston will be without one of their best defenseman as Hampus Lindholm suffered a brutal injury against the St. Louis Blues, and the team expects Lindholm to be out for weeks.
The other day the Boston Bruins called up Jordan Oesterle who will be replacing Hampus Lindholm, and he will be on a line with Parker Wotherspoon.
The Boston Bruins already revealed that Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes tonight, after facing the St. Louis Blues and stopping 20 of the 22 shots he faced.
