In a surprising move, Boston Bruins' coach Jim Montgomery made a lone lineup change earlier in the day, substituting John Beecher for Lauko due to recent faceoff struggles.

However, during the game against the Avalanche, Montgomery opted to play Beecher on the wing, sparking frustration among fans.

Concerns were voiced by fans, questioning the decision to place Beecher on the wing when faceoff issues persisted. One fan expressed disbelief, stating,
"We're struggling with faceoffs, and Beecher is great at it – moves him to wing. Are they really gonna play Beecher on the wing so a career 36% faceoff guy can play center? Beecher is a center. Boqvist is a wing. #NHLBruins"





Despite Jim Montgomery's penchant for puzzling decisions, the Bruins, under his guidance, maintain their league dominance. Montgomery's unconventional strategies, initially bewildering, continue to yield positive results, solidifying the team's position as a top contender.
