Bruins lineup tonight: Boston’s projected lineup for game against the Florida Panthers | March 11, 2025

Tonight, the Boston Bruins will collide with the reigning Stanley Cup champs in an Atlantic Division showdown that seems poised to deliver fireworks. Heading into tonight's game, Boston is fresh off a shutout win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Panthers are in the midst of a six-game win streak.

Boston is tied for fifth in the divisional standings alongside the Canadiens and the Red Wings, with all three teams looking to clinch a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

Currently, all three teams are sitting four points outside of Wild Card contention, with the Senators and the Blue Jackets in position to clinch the two Wild Card spots out East.

On the flip side, the Panthers are sitting atop the Atlantic Division as the team looks to go back-to-back as Stanley Cup champions.
