It appears that Bruins head coach Marco Sturm is sticking to his word, as defenseman Mason Lohrei will be benched for a fifth straight game tonight.

Ahead of their previous game against the New York Islanders, Sturm stated that the reason Lohrei was being scratched for a 4th straight game was due to how the defense have been playing and had nothing to do with Lohrei.
Basically saying that it's not broken, so why make any changes?
Notes from Marco Sturm.

Swayman in net.

Same lineup from Saturday.

Sturm on no Lohrei (healthy scratch) and sticking with same D pairs:

«..right now those guys are, they've been excellent, so there's no reason for me to change that has nothing to do with Mason.
Entering their game tonight against the Ottawa Senators, it looks like Sturm is sticking to his word.
