Need To Know: Bruins vs. Hurricanes

RALEIGH - After falling 2-0 to the Flyers on Tuesday at TD Garden, the Bruins look to get back in the win column tonight in Raleigh.

Lineup Changes:

There are some changes to the lineup heading into tonight’s matchup:

• The Bruins' productive fourth line has been split up, with Mark Kastelic moving to right wing on a new top line alongside Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm.
• Head Coach Jim Montgomery hopes the move provides the spark his team needs: "Right now we are looking for players to take ownership of their game - and with splitting up that Kastelic, Beecher, Koepke line we want their work habits to rub off on their linemates," said Montgomery after the team's optional morning skate.
• Johnny Beecher will skate with Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak, while Matt Poitras will center Trent Frederic and Justin Brazeau.
• Max Jones slots back into the lineup next to Charlie Coyle and Cole Koepke.
• After Joonas Korpisalo got the start in net against Philadelphia, Jeremy Swayman returns as the starting goaltender tonight against the Canes.
• Elias Lindholm, who was selected 5th overall by Carolina in 2013 and spent his first five NHL seasons with the club, returns to take on his former team: "It will be a a good test playing a good team in Carolina," said Lindholm. "I think we are all excited to get going and have a good matchup tonight."
