Head Coach Bruce Cassidy said yesterday that Jeremy Swayman would get the start in net for the opener.
With Curtis Lazar out, Karson Kuhlman will take the wing on the fourth line.
The team held an optional morning skate today, but have practiced the same lines and defensive pairings over the last week and a half. Based on those practices, this is how the lineup is projected to look:
Lines:
Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak
Taylor Hall - Charlie Coyle - Craig Smith
