The Boston Bruins face the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight and will see Hampus Lindholm make his debut in a B’s uniform.
Lindholm slots in on the top defensive pairing with Charlie McAvoy. While this looks to be where Bruce Cassidy expects him, Cassidy also said yesterday he wants to also see how Lindholm pairs with Brandon Carlo at some point in case that becomes an option for the postseason.
With the addition of the new defenseman, Mike Reilly will be the odd-man out. Derek Forbort and Connor Clifton round out the third pairing.
