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

The Boston Bruins return to the ice and will face the Toronto Maple Leafs in an Original Six matchup at Scotiabank Arena on Monday night.

Boston is coming off a 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday while Toronto has won nine of its last 10 games after a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Rangers on Saturday.

The Black and Gold continue to search for momentum having lost four of their last five games, two of those coming in overtime with another in a shootout. A win over the Maple Leafs before returning to Boston for a four-game homestand could go a long way for the B’s.

Puck drop from Scotiabank Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET, and you can watch it live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage. Make sure to play NESN’s “Predict the Game” to win a signed David Pastrnak jersey.
