Heading into their final game of their road trip tonight, head coach Marco Sturm confirmed some lineup changes for the Boston Bruins.
Yesterday during practice, the Bruins were running some new lines, and now Marco Sturm has confirmed the changes.
Recently, the Bruins have struggled big time to find the back of the net. In their past five games, the Bruins have scored just 7 goals, and five of them have come from Morgan Geekie, who is currently tied for the league lead in the NHL with Nathan MacKinnon, sitting with 17.
Because of their recent struggles, Marco Sturm is making some lineup changes ahead of their game against the New York Islanders.
