The Bruins will travel to New Jersey for their final road game of 2022.
Boston will hope to rebound from a shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators in the second leg of a back-to-back against the Devils. The Black and Gold remain atop the NHL standings with 57 points, and the Devils have fallen to second in the Metropolitan Division with 46 points after losing seven of their last eight games.
One of those losses came at the hands of the Bruins last Friday when Boston took a 4-3 win at Prudential Center. Boston went down 1-0 after the first period in that game before outscoring New Jersey, 4-0, in the second period thanks to two goals from David Pastrnak.
The B's will conclude 2022 with a home game against the Buffalo Sabres before a Winter Classic matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan. 2 to kick off 2023.
Jeremy Swayman put on a solid performance Tuesday night, and it's likely Linus Ullmark will handle goalie duties Wednesday. A.J. Greer and Jakub Zboril have been scratched from the lineup.
Puck drop from Prudential on Wednesday night is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on TNT.
