Bruins lineup tonight: Boston’s projected lineup for game against the Pittsburgh Penguins | March 1, 2025

Today, the Boston Bruins will look to snap a five-game skid when they collide with the Pittsburgh Penguins. After heading into the 4 Nations hiatus on a two-game skid, the team failed to find their rhythm, dropping games to the Anaheim Ducks, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and most recently, the New York Islanders.

With five straight losses, the team will look to get back in the win column today on the road when they collide with the Penguins, a team that's fresh off a win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Prior to Thursday's victory, the Penguins were on a four-game skid that had seen them go 0-3 after the 4 Nations hiatus.

Heading into today's game, Boston is on the hunt for an Eastern Conference wild-card berth, while on the flip side, Pittsburgh's odds of securing a spot in the postseason seem to be all by shot.
