Bruins lineup tonight: Boston's projected lineup for game against Detroit Red Wings | Dec 3, 2024

The Boston Bruins come into Tuesday's matchup with the Detroit Red Wings with a disappointing record of 12-11-3. They've rebounded a little after firing their head coach Jim Montgomery, but they're still in third place in the Atlantic Division standings. They have won two of their last three, though.

Hampus Lindholm remains the only notable injury that the team currently has to contend with. He was placed on Injured Reserve recently and remains week-to-week with a lower-body injury. He's the only player on IR right now.

Forwards:

1. LW Morgan Geekie - C Pavel Zacha - RW David Pastrnak
2. LW Brad Marchand - C Elias Lindholm - RW Justin Brazeau
3. LW Trent Frederic - C Charlie Coyle - RW Tyler Johnson
4. LW John Beecher - C Mark Kastelic - RW Cole Koepke

Defensemen:

1. Mason Lohrei - Charlie McAvoy
2. Parker Wotherspoon - Brandon Carlos
3. Nikita Zadorov - Andrew Peeke

Goaltenders:

• Jeremy Swayman
• Joonas Korpisalo

Powerplay Units:

1. Justin Brazeau, Pavel Zacha, Morgan Geekie, David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy
2. Trent Frederic, Charlie Coyle, Elias Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Brad Marchand

Penalty Kill:

1. Elias Lindholm, Pavel Zacha, Nikita Zadorov, Brandon Carlo
2. Charlie Coyle, John Beecher, Andrew Peeke, Charlie McAvoy

These lineups have been pretty consistent for the Bruins this year since they've had few injury issues or players who've needed to be benched, and it's likely that they'll roll out a similar line assignment tonight against Detroit.
