The Bruins' 2011-12 Stanley Cup defense run (damn that sounds good to say) begins tonight in Ottawa at 7:30, as they will skate with the Senators in their first exhibition game.
Here are the line combinations for the Bruins:
Forwards
Benoit Pouliot-Patrice Bergeron-Jamie Tardif
Jordan Caron-Chris Kelly-Chris Clark
Max Sauve-Tyler Seguin-Jared Knight
Lane MacDermid-Ryan Spooner-Jamie Arniel/Shawn Thornton
Defensemen
Andrew Ference-Colby Cohen
Matt Bartkowski-Adam McQuaid
David Warsofsky-Dougie Hamilton/Steven Kampfer
Goaltenders
Tuukka Rask
Anton Khudobin
*It's going to be interesting to see how the guys who played last night in the intersquad scrimmage will bounce back in real game action tonight against NHL competition. I'm looking forward to seeing Jordan Caron play, as I think he has a lot to give to the third line, although he's skating with the second line tonight.
*I will also be monitoring Matt Bartkowski, as I think he can challenge for a seventh defensemen spot on the big club. Word from last night was that he flattened Jared Knight in Providence. Bartkowski is a legit blueliner and I think he can compete with Kampfer and Colby Cohen for a roster spot.
*The game will be carried live on the radio-98.5 FM the Sports Hub-and tape delayed on the NHL Network beginning at midnight tonight.
