Cassidy Makes Final Lineup Decisions For Tonight's Opener.
The Boston Bruins roll into Washington tonight and they'll be trying to spoil the Washington Capitals Stanley Cup banner raising night.�
After yesterday's practice we had a pretty good idea of what tonight's group was going to look like with the exceptions of a decision upfront.�
Head Coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed tonight's projected lineup in front of starting goalie Tuukka Rask up against Alex Ovechkin and his teammates.�
Matt Grzelcyk and Kevan Miller will form the team's third defensive paring as Urho Vaakanainen and Steven Kampfer will be healthy scratches on the blue line.�
Lee Stempniak is still on his PTO and trying to earn a contract while Anders Bjork will be the oddman out up front as Joakim Nordstrom will take the left wing spot on the fourth line.�
Here's a look at both projected lineups for tonight:
