Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Maple Leafs Lineups

The Boston Bruins look to get back to their winning ways Saturday night when they face the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden.

The B’s had their three-game winning streak snapped Wednesday when they lost to the Washington Capitals. The Maple Leafs sit just three points behind the Bruins for third place in the Atlantic Division despite losing their last three contests.

Boston hasn’t played exceptional hockey at home, as they hold a 12-12-0 record at TD Garden. Toronto has won the first two meetings between these Original Six franchises this season, each by a score of 4-1.

Here are the projected lineups for Bruins-Capitals.

BOSTON BRUINS (26-22-6)
Brad Marchand–Patrice Bergeron–David Pastrnak
Frank Vatrano–David Krejci–David Backes
Matt Beleskey–Ryan Spooner–Riley Nash
