Bruins-Maple Leafs Game 6: Projected Lines, Defensive Pairings
Sign In
The Bruins on Thursday have another chance to close out their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Boston started off flat Tuesday night, did not recover in time and lost Game 5 in overtime. Head coach Jim Montgomery hopes for a strong response from the Black and Gold when the best-of-seven series moves back to Scotiabank Arena.
The Bruins will look for their fourth and final win of the series without Danton Heinen, who was ruled out due to an undisclosed injury. Justin Brazeau will take his spot on the third line as John Beecher returns to the fourth line. Kevin Shattenkirk also will make his return to the lineup in place of Matt Grzelcyk. Montgomery did not name a starting goaltender, but it’s expected to be Jeremy Swayman for a fourth-straight game.
Joseph Woll will get his second straight start for Toronto, which won’t have Auston Matthews in the lineup due to an undisclosed injury.
