The Boston Bruins will have a few different faces in their starting lineup Saturday night.
The Bruins recalled forwards Danton Heinen and Noel Acciari on Saturday, and both are expected to be on the ice for the clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night at TD Garden. Goalie Tuukka Rask also is expected to be back in net after having Thursday’s loss to the Colorado Avalanche off.
Regardless of who is on the ice, Boston needs to start Saturday night’s game better than it did against the Avs and Washington Capitals earlier this week. The B’s fell behind by multiple goals early on in both of those matchups.
Here are the projected lineups for both teams.
