This one move has changed the entire series for the Boston Bruins
When the Boston Bruins went down 3-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes in game two, Bruce Cassidy decided to reunite «The Perfection Line.» It's a lineup change that could quite possibly win the team the series when all seemed lost after two convincing losses to the Hurricanes.
Since Cassidy decided to put and keep Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak together, the line has logged 18:44 of five-on-five time on ice together and in that span there's three stats that stand out in favour of the trio:
Shot attempts: 22-9Shots on goal: 13-5Goals scored: 4-0
That's straight domination from a line that could easily still be considered one of the best in the entire NHL.
Marchand, Bergeron and Pastrnak have also combined for 8 goals and 11 assists in just two and half games played.
A Boston powerplay that went in an 0 for 36 slump just two to three weeks ago is also 4 for 14 in the two full games since they reunited.
The series heads back to Raleigh tied at two games apiece and with the Bruins' top line playing like this they have a real chance to steal this best-of-seven from the Hurricanes.
