Bruins Announce Interesting Opening Night Roster

The Boston Bruins play their season-opener against the Florida Panthers tomorrow (Oct. 8). Because of this, they have announced their opening night roster, and it is certainly an intriguing one. 

The Bruins' opening night roster is full of newcomers, as depth signings like Cole Koepke, Max Jones, and Riley Tufte made the cut. In addition, the Bruins' big summer additions of Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm are, of course, on the roster. They should be a real treat to watch.

After signing his eight-year contract with the Bruins yesterday (Oct. 6), Jeremy Swayman is thankfully on Boston's opening night roster. Head coach Jim Montgomery did not rule out the possibility of the Alaska native starting opening night. If he does not, Joonas Korpisalo will make his regular-season debut for the B's.

Matthew Poitras, Ian Mitchell, and Alec Regula have been named injured non-roster players. 

Here is the Bruins' full opening night roster for their matchup against Florida. 

Forwards: Johnny Beecher, Justin Brazeau, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, Morgan Geekie, Max Jones, Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, Elias Lindholm, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, Matthew Poitras, Riley Tufte & Pavel Zacha 

Defensemen: Brandon Carlo, Hampus Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Charlie McAvoy, Ian Mitchell, Andrew Peeke, Alec Regula, Parker Wotherspoon & Nikita Zadorov

Goalies: Joonas Korpisalo & Jeremy Swayman
