Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov will have another chance to impress the Bruins’ coaching staff as they are set to be in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Flyers. Both players struggled in the first preseason game but bounced back in the second one. Matt Poitras will also be closely watched as he has been tried at both center and right wing to determine his best fit on the team. Jackson Edward will be making his preseason debut, adding to the competition on defense.
Joonas Korpisalo and Brandon Bussi will both be in goal for Boston, with Korpisalo likely to start after Bussi played the full game on Tuesday. If Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned, they could potentially be the opening night duo. The lineup for Saturday’s game includes a mix of young talent and experienced players, with Joey Abate, Johnny Beecher, and Trent Frederic among the forwards, and Drew Bavaro and Andrew Peeke on defense.
Overall, the Bruins are continuing to evaluate their roster options as they prepare for the start of the regular season. With competition heating up in various positions, every preseason game provides an opportunity for players to showcase their skills and earn a spot on the team. Fans can expect an exciting matchup against the Flyers as the Bruins look to solidify their lineup for opening night.
