Yahoo Sports Bruins Reveal Interesting Lineup for Flyers Matchup
The Boston Bruins are going up against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight (Sept. 28) in their fourth pre-season contest of the year. The Bruins will look to turn things around, as they fell to the New York Rangers by a 5-2 final score in their last game.

The Bruins have announced their roster for their contest against the Flyers, and there are some clear players to keep an eye on for it.
The Bruins are going with Joonas Korpisalo and Brandon Bussi as their dressed goalies for the game. If Korpisalo is the starter or at least gets into some action, fans are naturally going to keep an eye on him, as he is their starter until Jeremy Swayman signs his new deal. Yet, if Bussi plays at all in this matchup, he is also a player to watch, as he has struggled this pre-season and needs a strong performance.

Matthew Poitras is once again set to play for the Bruins in tonight's matchup. The young forward is one of the several Bruins eyeing the second-line right wing spot, and a strong game would help his case of securing it.
Fabian Lysell is back on the ice for this one, and he is hoping to build off his strong performance against the Washington Capitals. He is another Bruins prospect who is a candidate for an NHL spot, so he is in need of another big game.

Fellow Bruins top prospect Georgii Merkulov will also be in Boston's lineup for this matchup and is a big-time player to watch.
Here is Boston's full roster for the Flyers matchup.
Forwards: Joey Abate, Johnny Beecher, Patrick Brown, Trent Frederic, Morgan Geekie, Cole Koepke, Vinni Lettieri, Fabian Lysell, Georgii Merkulov, Jaxon Nelson, Matthew Poitras & Riley Tufte
Defensemen: Drew Bavaro, Frederic Brunet, Jackson Edward, Hampus Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Andrew Peeke & Billy Sweezey
