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

The Boston Bruins will take the ice against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night and try to turn their homestand around.

Boston, which has one win in its last four games at TD Garden, continues to lead the Eastern Conference. Seattle is coming off a shootout win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday, which snapped a three-game losing streak.

Parker Wotherspoon will be inserted back into the lineup for Kevin Shattenkirk. Wotherspoon will play on Boston’s third defense pairing alongside Derek Forbort.

Kraken goaltender Joey Daccod, a native of North Andover, Mass., is expected to make the start between the pipes.

Puck drop from TD Garden is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. You can watch it live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage.
