Here is the Bruins' projected lineup against the Blue Jackets.
The Boston Bruins are set to face the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight. Their goal will be to stay hot after winning each of their last two games before the holiday break. This included an impressive 4-1 win over the red-hot Washington Capitals last game.
For this matchup against the Blue Jackets, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco shared that the lineup will be the same, but he is still determining who will be the 12th forward.
Sacco also confirmed that forward David Pastrnak will be in the lineup. This is certainly exciting news, as No. 88 left the club's last matchup early due to an upper-body injury.
Joonas Korpisalo will be between the pipes for the Bruins against his former club.
Here is the Bruins' full projected lineup now.

Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, David Pastrnak
