Boston Bruins head coach is not giving the Bruins anytime to create some chemistry, as today during practice they made more roster changes.

Since the beginning of the season, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has not given lines any chance to build chemistry together as he keeps on making line changes, and following their 4-3 OT win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, he has decided to make some more.

During that game some of the biggest changes we saw was Matthew Poitras getting a chance to play on a line with Brad Marchand, and Charlie Coyle, with Morgan Geekie taking Poitras' spot on the third-line centre.

Trent Frederic - Morgan Geekie - Justin Brazeau
John Beecher - Mark Kastelic - Cole Koepke

Mason Lohrei - Charlie McAvoy

Today at practice Jim Montgomery decided to change this line, and instead slotted Justin Brazeau into the second-line right-wing spot, with Matthew Poitras taking back his centre position on the third line.

Max Jones was originally in Brad Marchand's spot, after leaving the ice before line rushes, but a report was made that Marchand came back to the ice, and took his original spot on the 2nd line right-wing.

Marchand is now back on the ice and back on the second line in place of Jones.

The Boston Bruins did not make any changes to their defense surprisingly, leaving Nikita Zadorov on the third pairing after being demoted there just before their previous game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
