Today, during practice, the Boston Bruins have made some substantial roster changes following their sixth straight loss.

Finally, the Bruins are starting to make some changes, but it only took them losing six games in a row to do it.

After blowing another game to the Anaheim Ducks last night, it seems like Marco Sturm is finally making some changes.

Some fans took to X (Twitter) to speak on their frustration with the Boston Bruins, demanding they break up the defensive pair of Mason Lohrei and Charlie McAvoy.

Well, it seems like the Bruins are finally doing exactly that, plus making some changes to the lineup.

Bruins make big changes to roster

Marco Sturm this morning at practice was running some new lines on both offense and defense.

With both Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm missing, the Bruins had to change up the lines.

Along with that, they changed up their defensive lines as well.

Here is what the Bruins were going with:

Prax lines:

Geekie-Khusnutdinov/Beecher-Pastrnak
Mittelstadt-Zacha-Arvidsson
Jeannot-Minten-Eyssimont
Viel-Kuraly-Kastelic

Callahan-McAvoy
Lindholm-Jokiharju
Lohrei-Peeke

Swayman
Korpisalo

Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov are not practicing.

Tomorrow, the Boston Bruins are facing off against the Colorado Avalanche for an afternoon game, and it will be interesting to see if Sturm keeps these line combinations together.

Furthermore, it will be interesting to see if Lindholm and Zadorov are in the lineup after missing practice today.
