After completing a five-game road trip Tuesday night, the Bruins are set to kick off a three-game home stand when they host the Senators in what will be the first of three games in four days.

All members of the Bruins were on the ice at morning skate, with Tuukka Rask the first goaltender off the ice, suggesting he will start his fifth consecutive game. Here’s the projected lineup for Thursday.

Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Chris Bourque – Chris Kelly – Rich Peverley
Daniel Paille – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton

Zdeno Chara – Johnny Boychuk
Dennis Seidenberg – Dougie Hamilton
Andrew Ference – Adam McQuaid

    B’s going to win the Cup 2012-2013

    I feel the Bruins are not putting themselves in the best place to win with this line combo. I would like to see them try and go with the following. Lucic – Krecji – Seguin, and Marchand – Bergeron – Horton. 

    Three reasons. One I think Seguin would benefit from playing on a line with Lucic who creates a lot of open space. Also having Lucic on the ice with Seguin will keep anyone from taking liberties with Seguin later in the year. 

    Two, right now your best two goal scorers Marchmont and Seguin are on the same line. Also, your best two power forwards are on the same line being Lucic and Horton. I would like to see two balanced lines rather than two unique lines. 

    Three, if you trade for Jerome Iginla, it easily allows the team to put Iginla on the Bergeron line and drop Horton to the third line. 

    I would at least give it a shot for a game or two to see how it goes. I feel production, especially Seguin’s would increase by mixing the lines up a bit.
