Projected Bruins lines vs. Rangers: Ritchie slides up if Marchand is unavailable, Halak starts

The Boston Bruins face the New York Rangers this afternoon and lines could look a little different based on the availability of Brad Marchand for the game.

Marchand was absent from yesterday’s practice after Bruce Cassidy said he was “banged up” from Thursday’s win. His status for today is questionable and likely a game-time decision. If he’s unavailable, it looks like Nick Ritchie will slide up in his spot, as reported by The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa.

Lines will continue to be adjusted, as Charlie Coyle appears to be a wing for David Krejci and Jack Studnicka would be back to center the third line.
