Entering tonight's game, it looks like the Boston Bruins are making some interesting line changes.
The Boston Bruins are preparing to take on the Colorado Avalanche for their second game on this road trip, and have made some line changes.
During their last game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Marco Sturm made changes to the top-six forward group.
He threw Pavel Zacha on the top line with David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm, and Morgan Geekie was demoted to the second line.
It looks like those changes are going to stay for tonight's game, and now the Bruins have made a couple more changes.
