The Boston Bruins and head coach Bruce Cassidy hit the ice for practice Wednesday morning as they prep for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.�
Having looked pretty good for the last couple of games, Cassidy likely won't shuffle his troops too much but he's forced to make some adjustments on the blueline.�
Bruins defenseman Charlie�McAvoy has been suspended for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals so Cassidy needs to plug somebody in there.�
Kevan Miller isn't ready to return yet and John Moore is still a little banged up, so it seems that Connor Clifton will get bounced up to pair with Zdeno Chara on the first pairing.�
It also looks like Steven Kampfer will replace Clifton and pair with Matt�Grzelcyk.�
Upfront, Noel Acciari was missing from practice once again.�
Here's a look at the lineup this morning:
Marchand-Bergeron-PastrnakDeBrusk-Krejci-BackesJohansson-Coyle-HeinenNordstrom-Kuraly-Wagner
