For this matchup against the Blue Jackets, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco shared that the lineup will be the same, but he is still determining who will be the 12th forward.

Sacco also confirmed that forward David Pastrnak will be in the lineup. This is certainly exciting news, as No. 88 left the club's last matchup early due to an upper-body injury.
