Ticket prices were set at $20, with all proceeds from the scrimmage benefiting the Boston Bruins Foundation.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.
The Scrimmage
Boston will split into two teams and play two 25-minute periods, with two referees.
According to Cassidy, he might create some four-on-four situations, as well as, some six-on-five situations.
"This isn't a physicality contest out there. It's compete on pucks. It's play with some pace. I think we're smart enough. That will be the message I relay to some of the younger guys: We're doing this for a reason. But the reason is not to injure anybody," said Cassidy.
Bruins vs Blues
Boston and St. Louis met two times during the regular season.
The Bruins beat St. Louis 5-2 on January 17 in Boston, while the Blues beat the Bruins 2-1 in a shootout on February 23 in St. Louis.
