Projected lines, defensive combinations for the Bruins-Kraken matchup

The Bruins complete their first back-to-back of the season on Sunday night when they welcome the Kraken to TD Garden.

Boston earned perhaps its best win of the season on Saturday when it recorded a 3-0 victory in Philadelphia. The decisive victory came just three days after the Bruins were eliminated by the Flyers at TD Garden.

With Joonas Korpisalo set to take a well-deserved break after his 20-save performance at the Wells Fargo Center, Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes against Seattle. Boston’s top netminder will look to bounce back after allowing six goals against the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh on Thursday night.

Here are the expected lines and defensive combinations for Sunday’s Kraken-Bruins match:

BRUINS (5-6-1)
Brad Marchand – Elias Lindholm – David Pastrnak
Pavel Zacha – Charlie Coyle – Justin Brazeau
Trent Frederic – Matthew Poitras – Morgan Geekie
John Beecher – Mark Kastelic – Cole Koepke
