Bruins-Sharks Projected Lines, Pairings: Boston Aims For Rebound Win

Updated 11:45 a.m.: Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco told reporters Trent Frederic will not be in the lineup due to an illness. Joonas Korpisalo will get the start in net, ending Jeremy Swayman’s season-high run of five consecutive starts.

Cole Koepke (concussion protocol), Charlie McAvoy (upper-body injury) and Hampus Lindholm (lower-body injury) all remain out for Boston.

Oliver Wahlstrom will slot back in on the third line with Elias Lindholm and Vinni Lettieri. Charlie Coyle will move up to the second line with Brad Marchand and Matthew Poitras.

Original: The Boston Bruins will try to get a bad taste out of their mouths as they return to home ice and face the San Jose Sharks at TD Garden in a Monday matinee.

Boston is coming off an excruciating 6-5 overtime loss against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The Black and Gold allowed two goals in the final four minutes of regulation and ultimately fell in the extra session.

Fortunately for the Bruins, they won’t have their toughest matchup of the campaign. The Sharks arrive in Boston having lost five of their last six contests.

Jeremy Swayman, who’s finding his rhythm at the right time, is expected to be back between the pipes for the B’s.

Puck drop from TD Garden is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, and you can watch it live after an hour of pregame coverage.
