This trade deadline acquisition will play his first game for the Bruins tonight.
The Boston Bruins are set to take on the Montreal Canadiens in a much-anticipated Original Six matchup tonight. These two clubs have such a deep rivalry, so fans from both sides will naturally tune in.
Bruins fans have another notable reason to watch this contest. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed to reporters that trade deadline acquisition Andrew Peeke will make his team debut against the Habs.
Based on yesterday's practice lines, Peeke is expected to slot on the bottom pairing with Parker Wotherspoon. This pairing has the potential to be quite difficult for the Canadiens to go up against, as both of these defensemen are heavy-hitters.
Andrew Peeke Peeke, 25, has appeared in 23 games this season, where he has one goal, eight points, 44 hits, and 47 blocks.
