Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Flames Lines

Mar 15, 2017

The Boston Bruins will continue their road trip Wednesday night when they take on the Calgary Flames.

The B’s will have their work cut out for them, as the Flames are riding a red-hot 10-game winning streak. A win against the Bruins would mark the longest winning streak in Calgary franchise history.

Boston is playing good hockey at the right time as well, as it will try to extend its winning streak to four games Wednesday night at Scotiabank Saddledome. The Bruins also are expected to get back Ryan Spooner, who has missed the previous three after going through the concussion protocol.

The Bruins will give goaltender Tuukka Rask the night off, as Anton Khudobin is expected to get the nod between the pipes. After a slow start to the season, Khudobin has posted wins in his last three starts.

Here are the projected lineups for both teams.

BOSTON BRUINS (37-26-6)
Brad Marchand–Patrice Bergeron–David Backes
Drew Stafford–David Krejci–David Pastrnak
Frank Vatrano–Ryan Spooner–Jimmy Hayes
Matt Beleskey–Dominic Moore–Riley Nash

Zdeno Chara–Brandon Carlo
Torey Krug–Adam McQuaid
Colin Miller–Kevan Miller

Anton Khudobin

CALGARY FLAMES (39-26-4)
Johnny Gaudreau–Sean Monahan–Michael Ferland
Matthew Tkachuk–Mikael Backlund–Michael Frolik
Kris Versteeg–Sam Bennett–Troy Brouwer
Lance Bouma–Matt Stajan–Alex Chiasson

Mark Giordano–Dougie Hamilton
TJ Brodie–Deryk Engelland
Matt Bartkowski–Dennis Wideman
