Lineup for Friday's Bruins game in Boston

Here's the 20 traveling to Boston for tomorrow night's preseason opener:

Forwards

Blake Comeau-Josh Bailey-PA Parenteau

Jay Pandolfo-Trevor Frischmon-Jeremy Colliton

Micheal Haley-David Ullstrom-Justin DiBenedetto

Trevor Gillies-Tomas Marcinko-Tyler McNeely

Defensemen

Mike Mottau-Steve Staios

Ty Wishart-Dylan Reese

Matt Donovan-Calvin de Haan

Goaltenders

Rick DiPietro, Anders Nilsson

No word yet on how the goaltenders will split time.

This is a Bridgeport-heavy group, clearly; it doesn't appear that the Islanders will make cuts, necessarily, after the game in Boston and Saturday's game at the Coliseum against the Devils. It's more likely that the 50 or so players will be split into more distinct Islanders and Bridgeport groups after either Saturday's game or Tuesday's in Calgary.

It is a chance for some of the projected AHL players to get some good minutes, though, and show that they should stick around with the big boys.
