The Boston Bruins will look to sweep their first home-and-home of the season Monday when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The B’s are expected to start the same lineup they did in Saturday’s 2-0 shutout of the Leafs, with defenseman Joe Morrow and forwards Frank Vatrano and Landon Ferraro projected as the three healthy scratches.
Vatrano, who missed Saturday’s game with an upper body injury, and Ferraro, who was claimed off waivers Sunday from the Detroit Red Wings, both will be game-time decisions, head coach Claude Julien told reporters Monday morning.
Boston is eyeing its first three-game win streak since late October, when it reeled off a season-high four consecutive victories from Oct. 23 to 31.
UPDATE (7:26 p.m. ET): It appears Ferraro will, in fact, make his Bruins debut against the Leafs. He’ll take Tyler Randell’s usual spot on the fourth line.
Here are Monday’s projected lines and pairings, as reported by the teams:
BOSTON BRUINS (10-8-1)
