The Boston Bruins are going with a much different lineup against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Boston Bruins are back on the ice tonight (Oct. 31) to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. Their goal will be to bounce back from their ugly 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in their last game.
In response to the Bruins' disappointing loss, the Bruins are set to sport a much different lineup against the Hurricanes. Head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed to reporters that the fourth line of Cole Koepke, Johnny Beecher, and Mark Kastelic will be split up, while Max Jones will be back in the lineup.
Montgomery also confirmed that Jeremy Swayman will start for the Bruins against the Hurricanes. In his last start, he saved 20 out of 23 shots against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which resulted in a win.
