Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery will send several players from his regular squad onto the ice for Thursday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings, which should delight the many team fans present at the Center Videotron.
On offense, David Pastrnak will be in uniform, as will Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic. The three men also contributed to the 4-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. On defense, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo and Hampus Lindholm will take part in the matchup, while goalkeepers Joonas Korpisalo, Brandon Bussi and Michael DiPietro are all in the announced lineup.

However, Matthew Poitras is dealing with an undisclosed injury and will miss the duel. Brad Marchand (virus) will also be absent, which will be a disappointment for the Quebec crowd.
On the other hand, the 17,000 people who bought a ticket for the game will be happy to see Patrice Bergeron again, who will be entitled to a heartfelt tribute during a pre-match ceremony. The Bruins’ social networks also reminded that the former captain will be clearly visible throughout the day.
