Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Panthers Lines, Parings

The Bruins will look to get back into the win column Wednesday night, as they’ll conclude a short Florida road trip with a matchup against the Panthers at FLA Live Arena.

Boston dropped its contest with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday, falling in overtime after giving up the game-tying goal with five seconds remaining. The B’s have yet to lose consecutive games this season.

The Bruins are holding onto a similar lineup to the ones they’ve used in recent games, though Linus Ullmark will return to the net. Kevin Shattenkirk and Patrick Brown will return to the lineup for Ian Mitchell and Oskar Steen.

The Bruins and Panthers will drop the puck at 7 p.m. ET on TNT. We’ve got the projected lines and defensive pairings for both sides right here.
