The Bruins can push the Islanders to the brink of elimination Saturday night.
Boston and New York play Game 4 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series at Nassau Coliseum on Saturday. The B's took Game 3 in overtime to give them a 2-1 lead in the series.
While Boston's forward groups will look the same, its defensive pairings will shuffle around a bit due to Brandon Carlo being held out after suffering an upper-body injury from a hit by Cal Clutterbuck in Game 3.
Puck drop is set for 7:15 p.m. ET. NESN will carry an hour of pregame and postgame coverage.
Here are the projected lines and defense pairings for both teams:
BOSTON BRUINS (2-1)
Brad Marchand--Patrice Bergeron--David Pastrnak
Taylor Hall--David Krejci--Craig Smith
Nick Ritchie--Charlie Coyle--Jake DeBrusk
Sean Kuraly--Curtis Lazar--Chris Wagner
Matt Grzelcyk--Charlie McAvoy
Mike Reilly--Jeremy Lauzon
Jarred Tinordi--Connor Clifton

NEW YORK ISLANDERS (1-2)
