PREVIEW: Bruins are back in action as they travel to face the Ottawa Senators
The Boston Bruins are right back in it, with the second half of a back-to-back, as the team travels across the border to face the Ottawa Senators tonight.
The Bruins come into Ottawa as not only surviving without Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, Matthew Grzelcyk, and now, Brandon Carlo, but they're a perfect 3-0-0 and lead the NHL in scoring. The Bs have 16 goals in three games, and the only team with more is the New York Rangers, with 17, who have played four games.
The new-look Senators are off to a slow start with a 0-2-0 record and have only scored three goals. However, Ottawa's ''revamped'' offence looks poised to break out at any time.
The Bruins did not skate this morning, but we expect Jim Montgomery to go with the same lineup that beat a strong Florida Panthers team last night.
Zacha-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Hall-Krejci-Pastrnak
Frederic-Coyle-Greer
Foligno-Nosek-Lauko
Hall-Krejci-Pastrnak
Frederic-Coyle-Greer
Foligno-Nosek-Lauko
Lindholm-Reilly
Forbort-Clifton
Zboril-Stralman
Forbort-Clifton

Swayman
The changes would be Pavel Zacha with Patrice Bergeron and Jake Debrusk and Taylor Hall with David Krejci and David Pastrnak. Montgomery switched Zacha and Hall midway through last night's game and it worked out very well.
Also, Jeremy Swayman starting in net, seeing as Linus Ullmark played last night.
Puck drop is set, once again, for 7 pm EST.
