Who could play for the Golden Knights and Bruins?
Marner’s possible return could change the Golden Knights’ forward lines, while both clubs have a starting-goalie decision ahead of the game.
What is the Golden Knights’ projected lineup?
Marner returned to practice on October 26 after missing two games for the birth of his son, but his November 2 selection had not been confirmed. Parker Wotherspoon was on injured reserve and not expected back before November 8. Victor Olofsson was also on injured reserve and listed out until at least November 2, leaving his status for this game unresolved.
October projections placed Ivan Barbashev, Jack Eichel and Mark Stone together, with Brett Howden, William Karlsson and Marner on another line. The latter combination depends on Marner’s selection, and neither line was confirmed for November 2.
Through October 26, Carter Hart had made eight starts and Adin Hill five. Neither had been named the November 2 starter.
What is the Bruins’ projected lineup?
An October 24 projection listed no injured Bruins. It placed JJ Peterka with Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak, Marat Khusnutdinov with Fraser Minten and Morgan Geekie, and Hampus Lindholm with Charlie McAvoy on defense. Those combinations had not been confirmed for November 2.
Jeremy Swayman had made nine starts through October 26, and Michael DiPietro had made three. The Bruins had not named a starter against the Golden Knights.
What could decide Golden Knights vs Bruins?
Pastrnak’s shooting could test the Golden Knights’ unannounced starter. At the other end, the projected lines put Eichel and a possible returning Marner on separate forward units.
Can Pastrnak pressure the Golden Knights’ goalie?
Pastrnak had seven goals and 42 shots in 12 games through October 26. He could test whichever Golden Knights goalie starts after the team conceded six goals in each of its October 20 and 22 losses.
Can Eichel and Marner stretch the Bruins’ defense?
Eichel had five goals and eight assists over his previous 10 games, while Marner had 12 points in 11 appearances before his two-game absence. If Marner plays and the projected lines hold, the Bruins would have scoring threats on separate Golden Knights lines to contain.
