Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Hurricanes Game 4 Lines, Pairings

The Bruins look to take a pivotal 3-1 series lead in Game 4 agains the Hurricanes on Monday night.

Boston is coming off a statement 3-1 win over Carolina in Game 3 after being without David Pastrnak (unfit to participate) and Tuukka Rask (opted out of playoffs).

Head coach Bruce Cassidy will roll with the same lines as Saturday’s victory, meaning Pastrnak remains out and Anders Bjork stays on Patrice Bergeron’s right side despite committing three penalties in Game 3.

The third line of Sean Kuraly, Charlie Coyle and Jack Studnicka stay together after an incredibly strong game from the trio, including goals from Coyle and Kuraly and Studnicka impressing his linemates.

Jaroslav Halak will be between the pipes. Rod Brind’Amour has yet to name a starting goalie.
