The Boston Bruins have struggled big time on their current four-game California road trip and have now made some changes to their lineup because of it.
Last game, the Bruins decided to take Matej Blumel out of the lineup.
This was mainly because Elias Lindholm was making his return since being out of the lineup due to an injury he suffered on October 30th.
But now, entering tonight's game, the Bruins are making more changes, and a two-player roster transaction has been made.
Bruins make lineup changes
According to their morning lines, the Bruins are going to be healthy scratching a new player ahead of their game against the New York Islanders.
Matej Blumel is coming back into the lineup, and it looks like he is going to be placed on the top line once again, reuniting the Czech line.
With Blumel coming back into the lineup, Riley Tufte looks to be once again coming out of the lineup.
Tufte has been solid for the Bruins, but like many other players, he has bounced back and forth between being in the lineup and out.
Here are the Bruins' lines at practice:
