Bruins to have a new-look second line against Tampa Bay Lightning

The Bruins were forced to shake up their lines once again as they reported that David Pastrnak is officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The second line of Pastrnak, Taylor Hall and Erik Haula has been on fire since the trade deadline, with a combined 14 goals, 19 assists and 35 points in just eight games. (Pastrnak: 7 games played)

During Thursday morning's practise, Head Coach Bruce Cassidy had rookie Marc McLaughlin in Pastrnak's right-wing spot.

Since signing a two-year entry-level deal on March 15th, the Massachusetts native has played two career NHL games. He scored his first career NHL goal in his first game on March 31st in an 8-1 route against the New Jersey Devils.

Here's what McLaughlin had to say after practise on moving up to the second line:
