Boston Bruins head coach Joe Sacco completed a surprising roster move ahead of their game against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Boston Bruins are going to have a big test ahead of them the rest of this month as 9 of their 11 remaining games this month will be against playoff teams, and their next five straight games will be against playoff teams starting tonight.

Starting tonight, the Bruins will play their next five games against playoff teams starting against the Edmonton Oilers. Then they will prepare to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Ottawa Senators.

Entering their game tonight, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco completed a surprising roster move.

Going off of the Bruins morning skate this morning, Nikita Zadorov has been demoted from the Bruins top pairing with Charlie McAvoy, and will now be paired with Brandon Carlo.

Charlie McAvoy will now have a new partner on the blue line in Parker Wotherspoon, take a look:

The Boston Bruins also confirmed that Jeremy Swayman will be once again guarding the crease for the Boston Bruins tonight, but has lost his last three starts and will look to change that tonight.
