Coming off a frustrating 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers at the TD Garden Monday afternoon, the Boston Bruins held a practice at Warrior Ice Arena Tuesday before heading out on a three-game road that begins Wednesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. Boston coach Jim Montgomery shook up his lines at practice a bit and that’s where we will begin the latest Boston Bruins News.
Montgomery mixes up practice lines
Looking to get his top six going, Montgomery was frustrated with their performance lately while praising the fourth line, which has been one of their better lines. Tuesday, Montgomery shuffled them around a little bit as well as the way drills are conducted.
Brad Marchand missed practice for what Montgomery called a maintenance day, and Max Jones moved up into his spot on the second line with Charlie Coyle and Morgan Geekie. On defense, the pairings were mixed up with Mason Lohrei paired with Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm with Brandon Carlo, and Andrew Peeke with Nikita Zadorov.
