Although the series is tied 1-1, you could argue that the Bruins haven't looked like the history-making team they are, so Jim Montgomery revealed a revamped lineup at Thursday morning's practice.
Looking for a Spark
In an abysmal effort on Wednesday night, the Panthers took game two by a score of 6-3, leading to this quote from Montgomery postgame:
''I think it gives me pause to think about changes everywhere.''
And now, the Bruins bench boss has acted on those words. According to several sources, Boston will have a different look on forward, defense and maybe even in net.
Based on morning line rushes, the Bruins' projected lines are as such:
Marchand-Coyle-Frederic
Hall-Krejci-DeBrusk
Bertuzzi-Zacha-Pastrnak
Lauko-Nosek-Hathaway
EXTRAS: Foligno, Steen, Greer
Grzelcyk-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Forbort-Orlov
EXTRAS: Zboril, Clifton
Swayman
Bussi
It's confirmed that Patrice Bergeron stayed in Boston and did not travel to Florida. However, Montgomery stated that ''game five is likely'' for the Bruins captain.
Looking at practice lines, the only one that stays the same from games one and two is the defensive pairing of Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo. Besides that, every line has at least one change to it, so let's hope it lights a spark for the team.
