The Bruins have made some changes to their defensive pairings with a top defenseman missing from practice this morning.
After just returning back to the Bruins lineup in their previous game against the New York Islanders, Hampus Lindholm was missing from practice this morning.
Hampus Lindholm is not on the ice for Bruins morning skate.
Lindholm just got activated off injury reserve and played a big role in the Bruins' win against the Islanders but may not be feeling 100% depsite saying his body feels good.
With Lindholm missing, this caused the Bruins to make some changes to their defensive pairings.
Bruins changes to D pairings
Mason Lohrei was placed on the Bruins' third defensive pairing after being removed from the lineup over his recent play.
Along with that, Jonathan Aspirot, who just made his NHL debut against the New York Islanders, was placed on the Bruins' second defensive pairing with Andrew Peeke.
