Montgomery confirms roster changes ahead of game, but won't reveal what they are
Boston Bruins head coach has confirmed that the Boston Bruins will be making some changes to their roster as they prepare for their first meeting against the new expansion team, the Utah Hockey Club.
During their practice yesterday, the Boston Bruins were running some new lines.
The new lines the Boston Bruins were running during practice consisted of Max Jones and Riley Tufte coming out of the lineup after being added to the roster for their game against the Colorado Avalanche, and Morgan Geekie, and Justin Brazeau will be slated back into the lineup.
The Boston Bruins will be running new lines though with Brad Marchand now playing his off-wing on the second line, and Justin Brazeau taking his normal spot.
The third line will see some changes as well as Morgan Geekie will be added to Matthew Poitras' line alongside Trent Frederic.

The Boston Bruins will more then likely be going back to Jeremy Swayman in the crease tonight after Joonas Korpisalo picked up his first win against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.
During an interview today Montgomery did confirm that there will be line changes, and we believe these are going to be the lines the Bruins will be running against Utah tonight.
Coach Montgomery on tonight's lineup for the #NHLBruins matchup against Utah: "We're gonna make a couple switches up front, not giving away lines right now."
