Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Blue Jackets Lines, Pairings

The Boston Bruins will have the opportunity to redeem themselves against the Columbus Blue Jackets at TD Garden on Sunday night. The contest comes less than one week after the Blue Jackets defeated the Black and Gold in Columbus.

The Bruins enter Sunday having won their last two games, including the first night of their back-to-back Saturday. Boston earned a 4-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets are coming off a win of their own against the Ottawa Senators on Friday.

Fourth-line forward John Beecher and goaltender Jeremy Swayman represent the only changes to Boston’s lineup. Beecher replaces Oskar Steen on Morgan Geekie’s line while Swayman takes over for Linus Ullmark.

Puck drop at TD Garden is set at 7 p.m. ET, and you can watch it live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage.
