The Boston Bruins are back in Boston for tonight's game against the Carolina Hurricanes, and have revealed several roster changes with Fraser Minten making his debut.
Boston is currently riding a 10-game losing streak and will look to snap that tonight, with a little extra youth in the lineup.
Earlier this morning, the Boston Bruins announced that Fraser Minten is going to make his debut with the Boston Bruins after being acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline.
A little treat for suffering Bruins fans
«The reports that we got from Providence were that he's been a very reliable, smart player,» Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco said on Saturday, per team-provided transcript. «He's been playing well down there, and it's an opportunity for the organization to get a look at him.»
It was revealed that Minten is going to slot into the Bruins third line with Murat Khusnutdinov, and Vinni Lettieri.
That wasn't the only change though, as Sacco revealed that Elias Lindholm will be on the top ling with David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie, and Zacha is moving to the wing on the second line with Casey Mittlestadt, and Fabian Lysell.
It was also confirmed that Jeremy Swayman is going to be starting for the Bruins once again tonight.
