The Boston Bruins have announced a big change to their second-line ahead of their game against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.

Heading into tonight's game, the Boston Bruins will be looking to start a winning streak after beating the Toronto Maple Leafs and coming off of a three game losing streak.

The Boston Bruins already confirmed their starting goaltender for tonight's game, and now they have announced some changes to their second line.

Last game the Boston Bruins saw Matthew Poitras play right-wing on the second line with Brad Marchnad, and Charlie Coyle. Now the Boston Bruins are changing things up once again as Justin Brazeau will be promoted from the third-line right-wing, to the second-line right-wing alongside Charlie Coyle, and Brad Marchand.

Matthew Poitras will go back to playing centre on the third-line, with Morgan Geekie, and Trent Frederic.

According to Hockeydb, in 7 games this season, Matthew Poitras has 3 points, all being assists, and is a -2, where Justin Brazeau has 2 goals, and 1 assist for 3 points in 7 games, and is also a -2.

The Bruins made no changes to their defensive pairings heading into this game, and Max Jones, and Parker Wotherspoon will be the healthy scratches for tonight's game.

Do you think taking Matthew Poitras off the second-line is a good idea for the Boston Bruins?
