In a surprising turn of events, Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery appears to be shaking up the lineup ahead of Game 3 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. While nothing is officially confirmed, there are strong indications that changes are on the horizon.
Reports suggest that defensemen Parker Wotherspoon and Mason Lohrei are set to make their way into the lineup for the Bruins tonight. This move comes as a shock to many fans but they are excited to see what he can bring to the lineup.
One notable change is the potential absence of Matt Grzelcyk from the lineup. Grzelcyk, a key defenseman for the Bruins, but has been inconsistent all year long, and it seems he may be sidelined for Game 3.
Instead, Mason Lohrei has been spotted practicing alongside star defenseman Charlie McAvoy on the first defensive pairing.
