The Bruins lineup took shape for Opening Night during the pregame skate, and there were a couple of surprises. Adam McQuaid and Benoit Pouliot were both missing from the warm-up, and wont be playing in the season opener against the Philadelphia Flyers at TD Garden.

So McQuaid is a healthy scratch tonight with the flu after participating in the morning skate, and Pouliot is a healthy scratch in favor of Jordan Caron on the left wing of the third line. That also means Matt Bartkowski will get the opening night call after both McQuaid and Steve Kampfer went down with injury or illness in front of him heading into the regular season. The lines will look like this:

Lucic-Krejci-Horton
Marchand-Bergeron-Peverley
Caron-Kelly-Seguin
Paille-Campbell-Thornton

Chara-Boychuk
Corvo-Ference
Seidenberg-Bartkowski

Thomas
Rask
