Game Roster:

Meanwhile it's still unclear who the New York Rangers will ice on their side.

What we do know is Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil will be among the familiar faces traveling to Boston for the game. It's a fresh chance for both players to put last season behind them and aim for a strong start to 2024-25.

Kakko missed 21 games last season due to a lower-body injury, struggled to find chemistry with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider, and was dropped to the third line. He finished the season with just 13 goals and 19 points, then only managed one goal in 15 playoff games. At one point, he was even a healthy scratch during the conference final. Despite offseason trade rumors, the 23-year-old is excited to stay with the Rangers and hopes to get his career back on track. He'll start on the third line with a healthy Chytil and Will Cuylle on Sunday, which could also be his spot when the regular season begins.

Chytil, 25, missed all but 10 games last season due to an upper-body injury, likely a concussion. After a six-month break, he returned for six playoff games but didn't score. Now, he's looking to rediscover his form from two seasons ago when he had 22 goals and 45 points.

All eyes will be on Kakko and Chytil as they face the Bruins.
