The Boston Bruins are wrapping up their three-game road trip out west tonight, with a matchup against the Utah Mammoth set for 7 p.m. EST. Prior to puck drop, Marco Sturm made some lineup changes and a shift in goal.
The Bruins that there will be some changes throughout the lineup. Sturm put Morgan Geekie, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak back together on the first line. Pavel Zacha will center the second line tonight, with Marat Khusnutdinov and Viktor Arvidsson on his wings. Khsnutdinov draws back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch against Vegas and Colorado.
The typical third line that started the 2025-26 season of Tanner Jeannot, Fraser Minten, and Mikey Eyssimont is back together, and Johnny Beecher, Sean Kuraly, and Mark Kastelic remain together, as we saw last night. Beecher remains in the lineup after making his season debut last night, scoring Boston’s lone-goal agains the Colorado Avalanche.
With Marat Khusnutdinov drawing into the lineup, Casey Mittelstadt is the player that’ll draw out. Along with Casey Mittelstadt drawing out, Hampus Lindholm will draw out of the lineup and Jordan Harris will take his place, slotting in on the left side next to Andrew Peeke. Lindholm played last night, and head coach Marco Sturm “just wants to be careful” using him in a back-to-back. There are no other changes set for the defense.
The last change that the lineup will see tonight is in goal, as Joonas Korpisalo is set to get the start. The changes come after three straight losses, two of which were on the road. The Bruins are set to square off at 7 p.m., and the game can be found on NESN.
