Bruins make a surprising lineup decision with forward Morgan Geekie, Brad Marchand, and Justin Brazeau
The Boston Bruins have made some interesting lineup decisions with multiple forwards including Morgan Geekie, Brad Marchand, and Justin Brazeau.
Heading into their recent game against the Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins head coach made some interesting line changes when he announced that Just Brazeau, and Morgan Geekie were going to be healthy scratched for Max Jones and Riley Tufte. After struggling to get some production from the top-six Montgomery put Trent Frederic in place of Morgan Geekie, and placed Max Jones, and Riley Tufte beside Matthew Poitras on the third line.
This move ended up paying off as the Boston Bruins would go on to win 5-3 against the Avalanche who remain without a win in the early season so far. But Montgomery is already making more changes in preparation for their game against the Utah Hockey Club.
Today during the teams skate, the Boston Bruins were running a new second line, along with a new third line.
The second line saw some changes were Brad Marchand was moved to his off-wing, now playing the right wing, and Justin Brazeau was placed on the second line left wing, where Brad Marchand would normally play.
The third line now saw Morgan Geekie who began the season playing on the second line right wing before being healthy scratched before their game against the Colorado Avalanche, and will now play along side Matthew Poitras, and Trent Frederic.
