The Bruins announce their lineup
The Bruins opened up their pre season on Sunday night as they took on the New York Rangers in a disappointing 3-2 at TD Garden.
Tonight, the Bruins take on the Capitals in Boston as they look to get their first victory of the pre season.
The team announced their lineup this morning which will have some great players for fans to see such as Matthew Poitras, Georgi Merkulov, Justin Brazeau, Fabian Lysell, Tyler Johnson and Joonas Korpisalo.
Harrison-Frederic-Poitras
Johnson-Merkulov-Brazeau
Tufte-Nelson-Lysell
Abate-Brown-McLaughlin
Lindholm-Carlo
Callahan-Mitchell
Oesterle-Sweezey
Korpisalo
DiPietro
Fans are excited to see Poitras on the wing again this time on the first line with Frederic and Harrison. Bruins will be keeping a close eye on top prospects Merkulov and Lysell as well since they are still on the bubble of making the team.
The team also announced powerplay line in which the first line will have only 1 defenseman with Lindholm while Poitras, Frederic, Merkulov and Brazeau will be the other on the ice. The second powerplay will also only run with 1 defenseman which will be Mitchell.

Tufte
Lysell-Johnson-Harrison
Mitchell
Fans were quick to notice Lysell on the third line and only getting second powerplay unit minutes which they believe will result in him not making the team due to not being given the right opportunities.
It will be interesting to see if Lysell ends up making this team finally or will be back dominating in the AHL this year.
