Projected Lines Defensive Pairings For Bruins-Oilers Matchup.
The Bruins aim to break a four-game skid Tuesday night.
Boston is coming off an overtime loss to the New York Islanders at TD Garden. David Pastrnak excelled this past Sunday, but special teams continue to plague Boston after its subpar road trip.
Hampus Lindholm skated on his own before Bruins practice but won’t be available to play for a 26th straight game. Interim head coach Joe Sacco will play the same skaters from last Sunday’s loss.
They’ll face off against an Edmonton Oilers side that is tied for second in the Pacific Division heading into Tuesday. Boston is third in the Atlantic Division and 4-4-2 in its last 10 games.
Puck drop at TD Garden is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch full coverage on NESN starting at 6 pm. ET.
Here are the projected lines and defensive pairings for Boston and Edmonton.
