The Boston Bruins’ busy week resumes Thursday night.
The B’s will play their third game in four days when they welcome the Colorado Avalanche to TD Garden for a 7 p.m. ET clash. And if this game’s anything like the Bruins’ first two matchups this week, fans will be in for quite the show.
Boston started its week with a thrilling 4-3 home overtime win over the Florida Panthers on Monday, and it overcame a three-goal deficit to force overtime before eventually falling 4-3 to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. But the Avalanche have struggled mightily so far this season, and one of their 14 losses came in a 2-0 home defeat against the Bruins on Nov. 13.
Here are the projected lineups for both teams.
