The Boston Bruins take on the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night inside PPG Paints Arena, and will be making multiple changes to the lineup.
First and foremost, center Matthew Poitras will not play due to a broken nose he suffered on Monday night against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Poitras underwent surgery Wednesday to adjust his nose.
Sean Kuyraly gets back in the lineup in his place. Defensively, Jonathan Aspirot makes way for rookie Frederic Brunet.
Brunet returns after serving as a healthy scratch in the team's last three games.
Michael DiPietro starts in goal for the Bruins, giving Jeremy Swayman the night off.
