Joonas Korpisalo is slated to get time between the pipes for Boston

Bruins hockey was back on the ice last weekend as the Black and Gold kicked off its preseason schedule Sunday with a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals at TD Garden.

Boston fans will get a second look at the team on Tuesday night when the Bruins travel to the Big Apple for their second preseason tilt against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Twelve players who spent time sporting the Spoked-B last season — Casey Mittelstadt, Johnny Beecher, Fabian Lysell, John Farinacci, Mark Kastelic, Matt Poitras, Marat Khusnutdinov, Fraser Minten, Henri Jokiharju, Michael Callahan, Nikita Zadorov, Joonas Korpisalo — are expected to be in the lineup for the Bruins.

Forwards Lysell, Poitras, Minten, Matej Blumel, and Alex Steeves, and defensemen Victor Soderstrom and Zadorov will play in their second game of the preseason.

Here is the Bruins’ full roster for the tilt with the Rangers, per the team:

Forwards: Casey Mittelstadt, Matej Blumel, Johnny Beecher, Alex Steeves, Fabian Lysell, John Farinacci, Mark Kastelic, Matt Poitras, Dans Locmelis, Dalton Bancroft, Michael Eyssimont, Marat Khusnutdinov, Fraser Minten

Defensemen: Henri Jokiharju, Victor Soderstrom, Jordan Harris, Jonathan Aspirot, Michael Callahan, Loke Johansson, Nikita Zadorov

Goaltenders: Joonas Korpisalo, Michael DiPietro, Simon Zajicek

New York won its preseason opener 5-3 against the New Jersey Devils. Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin are expected to make their preseason debuts for the Rangers, per the team.

Like the Bruins, the Blue Shirts have a new bench boss for the 2025-26 season. Mike Sullivan was named the 38th head coach in franchise history in May after 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins.  

Sullivan took over the Penguins ahead of the 2015-16 NHL season and promptly led Pittsburgh to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, the fourth and fifth in the franchise’s history. The Penguins reached the playoffs in five straight seasons following those consecutive Cup runs, but missed the last three postseasons.
