Projected lines, pairings for Bruins-Blackhawks Matchup

The Bruins play their penultimate home game when they compete against the Chicago Blackhawks in the TD Garden on Thursday.

Boston has achieved a dominant 7-2 victory against the New Jersey Devils in the Prudential Center. David Pastrnak went over 100 points in the season and continued his historical run. The victory on Tuesday helped the victory of the B two of their last three games, and they will continue to end the season on Thursday evening.

Interim head coach Joe Sacco confirmed that Riley Duran would be in the line -up. He also confirmed that neither Mark Kastelic nor Charlie McAvoy would return for the rest of the season. A decision was not made on which there is scratching ahead, but Jakub Lauko is a candidate.

Nikita Zadorov is a decision for season due to a family matter. Ian Mitchell would fit into the line -up if the defender cannot adapt on Thursday.
