For the first time since knocking them out in Game 7 yet again, the Boston Bruins will face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It is always a treat when these two Original Six rivals play each other, and this should be no different.

The Bruins are entering this matchup ice-cold, having lost each of their last three contests. The Maple Leafs are sporting a two-game losing streak and were outscored 11-3 in them. As a result, both clubs will enter this matchup hungry for a victory.

After another rough game, the Bruins are going with an interesting lineup against the Maple Leafs.

While speaking to reporters, Jim Montgomery confirmed that Matthew Poitras will play right wing on a line with Charlie Coyle and Brad Marchand. This is a great opportunity for Poitras, as he will be playing with two important Bruins forwards.

After being scratched against the Stars, Mason Lohrei is back in the lineup against the Maple Leafs. He will also have a big opportunity, as he is expected to slot on the top pairing with Charlie McAvoy.

Here is the Bruins' projected lineup for their contest against Toronto.
