Bruins Going With Interesting Lineup Against Red Wings

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice tonight (Dec. 3) to face off against the Detroit Red Wings. The Bruins just played against the Red Wings on Nov. 23, where they won by a 2-1 final score. Now, the Bruins will look to secure another win against Detroit from here.

The Bruins are entering this contest hot, as they defeated the Montreal Canadiens by a 6-3 final score in their last game. Several Bruins stepped up in this convincing win and because of this, the Bruins are expected to use the same forward lines and defensive pairings as they did against Montreal. 

There is one difference with their lineup, though, as goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is expected to be the club's starter.

Here is the Bruins' full projected lineup for their contest against the Red Wings now.
