Bruins-Flames Projected Lines, Matchups: Boston Runs It Back

Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco liked what he saw from Boston in Vancouver, so he won’t change a thing when the black and gold take the ice in Calgary.

“We liked what we saw from top to bottom, the guys played well,” Sacco told reporters Tuesday morning, according to the Bruins.

The Bruins play the fourth game of their five-game road trip at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday night. Boston earned a 5-1 victory over the Canucks, while the Flames earned a 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

David Pastrnak, who scored four points in Vancouver, will play alongside Pavel Zacha and winger Morgan Geekie.

Jeremy Swayman will stay between the goals after stopping 19 of the 20 shots he faced against the Canucks. After a disappointing start in Winnipeg last week, it was a promising comeback for Swayman.
