The Boston Bruins' roster against the Philadelphia Flyers have some clear players to keep an eye on.
After a hectic Monday (Sept. 30), the Boston Bruins return to the ice tonight (Oct. 1) for another pre-season matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Bruins just played the Flyers on Saturday (Sept. 28), where they lost by a 3-2 final score.
The Bruins have announced their roster for their latest matchup against the Flyers, and there are some clear players to watch for it.
New Bruins star Elias Lindholm is set to make his pre-season debut for the Original Six club. After suffering an injury during the first practice of training camp, Lindholm recently started skating again with the team. Now, he is getting into some pre-season action and will look to build some chemistry with David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha, his expected linemates.
Tyler Johnson will also be back in the lineup for the Bruins. This is a big game for Johnson, as he is looking to earn a contract for the season, and the pre-season is quickly passing. A strong game from the veteran would help his chances of getting a deal.
Bruins captain Brad Marchand is also set to play tonight. This is huge, as it will be the veteran's first pre-season action since undergoing three off-season surgeries this summer.
Nikita Zadorov will be back on the ice for Boston as well. With the 6-foot-6 being one of the Bruins' top additions of the summer, fans will naturally want to watch him closely.
Here is the rest of the Bruins' roster for this contest.
Forwards: Johnny Beecher, Justin Brazeau, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, Morgan Geekie, Tyler Johnson, Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, Elias Lindholm, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak & Pavel Zacha
Defensemen: Brandon Carlo, Hampus Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Charlie McAvoy, Jordan Oesterle, Andrew Peeke & Nikita Zadorov
Goalies: Brandon Bussi & Michael DiPietro
