Changes: Bruins Head Coach Joe Sacco Makes Major Roster Moves Heading Into Tonight's Game
Boston Bruins head coach Joe Sacco made some interesting big changes to the Bruins lineup heading into their game tonight.
It seems as Joe Sacco was not happy with how some of his lines played on Thursday night against the Edmonton Oilers and he is making changes due to it.
The Bruins ended up blowing a 2-0 lead to the Oilers and losing 3-2 in overtime, and now Joe Sacco is making changes due to it.
One of the bigger changes involves Charlie Coyle being bumped up to Brad Marchand's line, and will play right wing instead of centering the third line like he has been for awhile.
Justin Brazeau is being bumped down to the third line, and will play left wing, and Trent Frederic will centre that line for the Bruins with Oliver Wahlstrom on the right wing.
Cole Koepke will also re-enter the Bruins lineup after being healthy scratched during their last game against the Oilers.
Here are the lines:
Geekie-Zacha-Pastrnak
Marchand-Lindholm-Coyle
Brazeau-Frederic-Wahlstrom
Beecher-Kastelic-Koepke
McLaughlin
Zadorov-McAvoy
Oesterle-Carlo
Lohrei-Peeke
Wotherspoon
Swayman/Korpisalo
The Boston Bruins ended their West Coast trip with a 2-2-1 record picking up 5 out of a possible 10 points. Picking up 5 points out of 10 is huge for the Bruins after the disastrous start they had.
