Head coach Jim Montgomery has made a major announcement regarding the Boston Bruins lineup for today against the Hurricanes, as multiple regulars will be out.
Taking Advantage of a Cushion in the Standings
As per Bruins PR:
Per Coach Montgomery, Patrice Bergeron (illness), Brad Marchand, and Hampus Lindholm (nagging injuries) will not play this afternoon in Carolina.
A.J. Greer, Oskar Steen, and Jakub Zboril sub in.
Going into a second half of a back-to-back against a strong Hurricanes team and first place in the Atlantic Division already locked up, it only makes sense for the Bruins to start some load management down the stretch.
