Bruins lineup tonight: Boston's projected lineup for game against Vancouver Canucks | Nov 26, 2024

On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins will face off with the Vancouver Canucks in a meeting between two teams eager to improve in their respective divisions. In the case of the Bruins, the team is sitting fifth in the Atlantic Division standings with 23 points, tied with the Buffalo Sabres.

On the flip side, after winning the Pacific division last year, the Canucks have been struggling to find the same consistency this season. Currently, the team is sitting in fifth place in the Pacific Division, one point behind the Edmonton Oilers and two points behind the Los Angeles Kings.

Heading into tonight's game, Boston will be looking to make it three straight after wins over Utah and Detroit to close out last week while on the flip side, Vancouver looks to make it two straight after a win over Ottawa on Saturday.

When the Bruins take the ice tonight, they will be without Hampus Lindholm, who is the only player listed on the team's injury report as of this morning. After suffering a lower-body injury earlier this month, Lindholm was placed on the injured reserve list with the expectation being that he'll miss multiple weeks.

With that in mind, the Bruins lines tonight are projected to be as follows:

Forwards:

1. LW Morgan Geekie- C Pavel Zacha - RW David Pastrnak
2. LW Brad Marchand - C Elias Lindholm - RW Justin Brazeau
3. LW Trent Frederic - C Charlie Coyle - RW Tyler Johnson
4. LW John Beecher - C Mark Kastelic - RW Cole Koepke

Defense:

1. Mason Lohrei - Charlie McAvoy
2. Parker Wotherspoon - Brandon Carlo
3. Nikita Zadorov - Andrew Peeke

1. Brad Marchand, Elias Lindholm, Pavel Zacha, David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy
2. Justin Brazeau, Charlie Coyle, Tyler Johnson, Morgan Geekie, Mason Lohrei

Penalty Kill:

1. Elias Lindholm, Pavel Zacha, Nikita Zadorov, Brandon Carlo
