After a 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in their last game, the Boston Bruins will be facing the New Jersey Devils on April 8. The Original Six club will look to bounce back from their tough loss against the Sabres and pick up a victory against the Devils from here.
The Devils are entering this contest with extra motivation, as they need just one more point to clinch a playoff berth. Thus, the Bruins will need to be on their A-game to defeat New Jersey.
While speaking to reporters, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco shared that Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes for Boston against the Devils. This is after Joonas Korpisalo started against the Sabres, where he allowed five goals on 36 shots.
Sacco did not announce that the Bruins would make changes to their forward lines and defense pairings for this contest against the Devils.
Here is the Bruins' full projected lineup now.
