Bruins vs Lightning Lineup Preview: Jordan Harris Ready for Consecutive Starts

In a highly anticipated matchup, the Boston Bruins aim to maintain their undefeated streak as they host the Tampa Bay Lightning in the fourth game of the season. The face-off is set for Monday afternoon at TD Garden, following Boston’s trio of victories.

Bruins vs Lightning: Lineup Insights

Boston’s latest win occurred on Saturday against the Sabres, where local talent Jordan Harris was called into action. Harris replaced the injured Hampus Lindholm and is expected to start alongside Andrew Peeke in the second pairing. Lindholm is unlikely to return for Monday’s game.

Bruins’ Goalie Situation

Head coach Marco Sturm had yet to finalize the choice of goalie as of Sunday. Jeremy Swayman has participated in both the opener and the Buffalo game, while Joonas Korpisalo played against the Chicago Blackhawks. The decision hangs in the balance, pending further review by the coaching staff.

Lightning’s Goaltending Strategy

On the other side, Tampa Bay has leaned on Andrei Vasilevskiy for their first two games. However, with Vasilevskiy conceding nine goals on 62 shots, Jonas Johansson might be considered for a turn in the net, shaking up their strategy.
