The Boston Bruins are hosting the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night at the TD Garden, and instead of having their optional morning skate at Warrior Ice Arena, they held it at the TD Garden. A change of plans from their normal routine.
After the optional skate, head coach Marco Sturm said that the Black and Gold were going to roll out the same lineup as they did two nights against the Utah Mammoth against the Oilers, including Jeremy Swayman playing in goal again.
As part of the crew that took the ice for the morning skate were several injured players who have been out of the lineup for at least a week.
