Bruins Going With Exciting Lineup Vs. LA

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice today (Oct. 12) to go up against the Los Angeles Kings. After an impressive 6-4 win against the Montreal Canadiens, they will now look to build off it against a tough Kings club. 

Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery shared with reporters today that Matthew Poitras will officially make his season debut against the Kings. This is huge, as the young forward had been injured but is now good to go. With Poitras coming back, Riley Tufte has been scratched. 

After being scratched against the Habs, Mason Lohrei is also back in the lineup, as Montgomery also confirmed. He is set to play on the third pairing with Andrew Peeke, replacing Parker Wotherspoon. 

Here is the full Bruins lineup for this contest against the Kings.
