The Boston Bruins are gearing up for their second preseason game against the Washington Capitals, with some familiar faces set to take the ice at TD Garden on Tuesday night. Notable players making their preseason debut include Justin Brazeau, Matt Poitras, and Trent Frederic, who could potentially solidify the team’s third line. Two-time Stanley Cup winner Tyler Johnson will also be in a Bruins uniform on a professional tryout agreement, looking to earn a key role on the team.
Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov will have another chance to make an impression after not standing out in the previous game. Defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo are expected to replace Mason Lohrei and Andrew Peeke in the lineup. In goal, Joonas Korpisalo will make his preseason debut with Michael DiPietro serving as the backup.
The full lineup for the game includes forwards Joey Abate, Justin Brazeau, Patrick Brown, Trent Frederic, Brett Harrison, Tyler Johnson, Fabian Lysell, Marc McLaughlin, Georgii Merkulov, Jaxon Nelson, Matt Poitras, and Riley Tufte; defensemen Michael Callahan, Brandon Carlo, Hampus Lindholm, Ian Mitchell, Jordan Oesterle, and Billy Sweezey; and goaltenders Michael DiPietro and Joonas Korpisalo. Fans can expect an exciting matchup as the Bruins look to fine-tune their roster before the start of the regular season.
