Bruins Showcased Some Intriguing Lines Ahead of Game 5

With Patrice Bergeron likely returning for game five against the Panthers, the Bruins ran some interesting lines at morning skate on Tuesday.

Head coach Jim Montgomery changed up the lines multiple times throughout game four in Florida, and it appears as though, he's continuing that strategy.

Based on line rushes at practice, Boston could be icing the following lineup on Wednesday night at TD Garden. As per The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa:




Of course, it all depends on whether Bergeron will indeed play in game five or not (more on that here). Another intriguing aspect is the fact that Montgomery may also split up Bergeron and Brad Marchand which is something Bruins fans don't see often.

He also has rookie Jakub Lauko on the fourth line left wing with Trent Frederic and A.J. Greer sitting. It will be interesting to see if the bench boss keeps it that way.
