The Bruins are in Toronto again, playing the Maple Leafs for the 3rd time this year.
After 8 games, the Bruins are at 5-1-2, which is good for 2nd place in the Atlantic, (most recently losing to the Leafs late in OT).
What will be the lineup tonight?
Well, Torey Krug, and a bunch of young forwards are injured.
Urho Vaakanainen has been called up and the forward lines have been put in a blender. Charlie Coyle and Anders Bjork will play wing on the 2nd line, and Par Lindholm will center a rookie/prospect line.
Trfent Frederic has been called up from Providence to fill in.
Tuukka Rask will be in goal tonight.

Toronto has faced the Bruins twice since losing Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs, winning in an overtime game in toronto and losing to the Bruins in regulation in Boston. John Tavares is back from a broken finger, and Zach Hyman and Travis Dermott are back from injuries dating from the playoffs. Alexander Kerfoot and Mitch Marner are both injured – Marner with an ankle injury that will sideline him for a few weeks.

Wow! B rad!!!
I thought we would get No Goal for the Leasts….. Didn’t they claim no goal off waivers??
Good stuff Charlie! Good timing – the Leafs were starting to look dangerous.
Woooo!
Oh yeah!!!
Great goal!!! Grizz is having a night.
Thought we were going to get a McAvoy Special there (firing an opposing forward into Tuukka)!
Yup, i was holding my breath!
Clifton and Vaakaneinen. …what year is this?? 2024??
Wow, Grizz!!
Hey hockey pals! I’ve been super busy but I miss you guys.
I love seeing Carbonneau, Zubov, Sundin, Murphy, et al. My dudes!
Hey there!
I’m not normally a fan of the pre-game stuff but I enjoyed that one.
Hey!!
