BOSTON — Tim Thomas’ work is far from over.
The veteran netminder will get the start tonight against Chicago at TD Garden.
He was on top of his game Sunday night in the playoff-clinching victory at Philadelphia Sunday. But head coach Claude Julien doesn’t seem ready to rest his star for the postseason just yet.
Here are the lines and D pairs as per warm-ups:
Lucic-Krejci-Horton
Marchand-Bergeron-Recchi
Peverley-Kelly-Seguin
Paille-Campbell-Thornton
Chara-Boychuk
Kaberle-Seidenberg
Ference-McQuaid
Fantastic speed tonight, especially on the backcheck. Love it. Good to see Horton showing patience with the puck, he sold Crawford (and me) on the shot. Seguin continues to impress me with how willing he is to get dirty.
Thomas owned the Hawks tonight.
Glad he got his 9th shutout.
Timmay!!!! Grats to TT on the 9th shutout. B’s really skated tonight. Loved it.
