The Bruins are expected to go with this lineup against the Penguins.
The Boston Bruins are facing off against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night (Nov. 29). They are entering this contest hot, as they defeated the New York Islanders by a 6-3 final score on Wednesday.
Based on their practice lines, the Bruins will not change their forward lines or defense pairings against the Penguins. Given how the last game against the Islanders went, it is easy to understand why.
Jeremy Swayman will be the Bruins' starting goalie for this contest. He last played on Nov. 26 against the Vancouver Canucks, where he allowed one goal on 14 shots in a loss.
Here is the Bruins' full projected lineup against the Penguins.
Forwards
First Line: Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, David Pastrnak
