Bruins-Utah Hockey Club Planned Lines: Boston Makes Inaugural Visit

The Boston Bruins will play visiting Utah Hockey Club on Saturday night for the first time in their franchise history at Salt Lake City's Delta Center.

A few hours before the puck dropped, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery noted, without revealing specific details, that he planned to “make a few changes up front.” During Friday's practice, forward Justin Brazeau skated on the right wing alongside Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle. Brazeau began the road trip as a healthy freshman as Boston reached the Rocky Mountains and took on the Colorado Avalanche.

Brazeau has one assist in four games so far for the Bruins.

Boston will roll with Jeremy Swayman in front of the net, as opposed to Utah's Connor Ingram. Swayman is 2-1-0 in three starts this season, with a goals-against average of 2.98 and a save percentage of .893. The 25-year-old takes over from fellow Boston goalkeeper Joonas Korpisalo, who made 22 saves on 25 shots in Wednesday night's 5-3 win in Colorado

Utah, currently third in the Central Division, will be looking to avoid a third straight defeat after allowing eight goals in the last two games played.

Boston, meanwhile, is looking for its second straight win and you can watch the game and a full hour of advance coverage live on NESN.
