With the Bruins dealing with a couple of injuries to their defenseman, they have unveiled a new defensive pairing ahead of their game tonight.
Tonight, Boston is taking on the Anaheim Ducks and are looking to snap a five game losing streak, but it looks like they will be without two defenseman.
Because of this, the Bruins have revealed a new defensive pairing.
Just yesterday, the Bruins ended up placing defenseman Jordan Harris on injury reserve, and will miss a minimum of seven days because of it.
Along with that, Marco Sturm stated that defenseman Hampus Lindholm is going to be a game time decision, but he stayed on the ice with the extras following practice, and it's looking like he will once again not play tonight.
Sturm said Hampus Lindholm is a game-time decision, but he is currently on the ice with the other scratches tonight, so I wouldn't be holding my breath.
With that, the Bruins are going to be down two defenseman tonight, and have revealed a new pairing because of it.

Losing both Harris, and Lindholm is not going to help the Bruins snap their five game losing streak, but they need to dig in and find a way to win a game.
