Jim Montgomery feels they're not playing with enough urgency. They hope these changes will make a difference.
Coach Montgomery on tweaking the #NHLBruins power-play units ahead of Monday's game: "We need more pace and purpose to our power play. We're not getting that kind of urgency that we think we need. And as we build toward the playoffs, we're hoping this will help."
The first power play unit now includes Shattenkirk, Pastrnak, Heinen, Maroon, and Zacha.
On the second power play, you'll see McAvoy, Marchand, DeBrusk, Geekie, and Coyle.
PP1: Shattenkirk, Pastrnak, Heinen, Zacha, Maroon

These adjustments show that the Bruins are serious about improving their game and scoring more goals ahead of the playoffs. The Bruins are hoping that they can get their power play going in their final couple games as the playoffs are coming quick.
