    The Boston Bruins will be facing off against the Buffalo Sabres on March 17. Their goal will be to bounce back after losing each of their last two games in an ugly fashion. 

    The Bruins' last matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning was particularly bad, though. They notably did not record a single shot on goal during the second period and fell by a 6-2 final score to the Bolts. 

    While the Bruins suffered one of their worst losses of the season against the Lightning, they are not expected to make changes to their forward lines and defense pairing against the Sabres.

    They are making a switch in goal, however, as Joonas Korpisalo will be between the pipes for the Bruins against Buffalo. This is after Jeremy Swayman allowed eight goals on 53 shots in the Bruins' last two matchups. 

    Korpisalo's last appearance was on March 13 against the Ottawa Senators, where he stopped 15 out of 16 shots in relief. 

    Here is the Bruins' full projected lineup for their contest against the Sabres:

    Forwards 

    Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, David Pastrnak 

    Cole Koepke, Casey Mittelstadt, Vinni Lettieri

    Marat Khusnutdinov, Elias Lindholm, Jakub Lauko 

    John Beecher, Patrick Brown, Mark Kastelic

    Defensemen

    Nikita Zadorov & Henri Jokiharju 

    Mason Lohrei & Andrew Peeke 

    Parker Wotherspoon & Ian Mitchell

    Starting Goalie

    Joonas Korpisalo
