Lehner has started every game against the Bruins so far this sesaon, going 0-1-2 with a sub-2.00 GAA and .945 SP.
The top two lines were juggled a bit at the morning skate. Here is how they lined up
Guillaume Latendresse – Mika Zibanejad – Daniel Alfredsson
Mike Hoffman – Kyle Turris – Jakob Silfverberg
Colin Greening – Jim O’Brien – Chris Neil
Erik Condra – Zack Smith – Matt Kassian
Sergei Gonchar – Patrick Wiercioch
Benoit took a shot off the foot from Jared Cowen, and was limping after practice but expects to play. If he cannot go, Mike Lundin will step into the lineup.
Peter Regin will be a healthy scratch once again.
Milan Michalek practised in full uniform, which is a very good sign exactly two weeks after his knee surgery.
Boston will not have Jaromir Jagr in the lineup yet for tonight’s game.
