BOSTON -- The Bruins will look to avoid a 0-3 start to the season Monday afternoon as they host the defending Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden.

Boston will have the services of No. 1 defenseman Zdeno Chara for the first time this season, but they'll be without top-line winger Brad Marchand, who suffered a concussion in Saturday's loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Here are the expected lines and pairings for both teams:

BOSTON BRUINS (0-2-0)
Loui Eriksson -- Patrice Bergeron -- Brett Connolly
Matt Beleskey -- David Krejci -- David Pastrnak
Chris Kelly -- Ryan Spooner -- Jimmy Hayes
Zac Rinaldo -- Joonas Kemppainen -- Max Talbot

Zdeno Chara -- Kevan Miller
Torey Krug -- Adam McQuaid
Joe Morrow -- Colin Miller

Tuukka Rask

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING (2-0-0)
Jonathan Drouin -- Steven Stamkos -- Ryan Callahan
Ondrej Palat -- Tyler Johnson -- Nikita Kucherov
Alex Killorn -- Valtteri Filppula -- Erik Condra
Brian Boyle -- Vladislav Namestnikov -- J.T. Brown

Victor Hedman -- Jason Garrison
Braydon Coburn -- Anton Stralman
Matt Carle -- Andrej Sustr
