Joe Sacco Confirms Two Players As Healthy Scratches For The Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins are looking to end their five game losing streak tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and they have not made any big changes to their lineup.

Fans have been calling for the Bruins to make some changes including calling up some young players like Fabian Lysell, or Matt Poitras from the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League, but they keep putting the same lineup out expecting different results.

The Bruins are rolling with the exact same lineup as they did in their previous game against the Edmonton Oilers with one change to the defensive pairing.

Nikita Zadorov is getting bumped back up to the Bruins top pairing with Charlie McAvoy, and Parker Wotherspoon is being put back down to the Bruins second defensive pairing with Brandon Carlo.

Joe Sacco confirmed that both Jordan Oesterle and Marc McLaughlin are going to be healthy scratches for the Boston Bruins once again.

Oesterle last game with the Bruins was on January 4th when the Bruins faced off against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Marc McLaughlin's last game with the Bruins was right before the New Year on December 31st when the Bruins took on the Washington Capitals.

Here are the Boston Bruins projected lineups:

The Bruins did make a big change to their power play today as they ended up taking Charlie McAvoy off of the top power play, and instead have placed Mason Lohrei on it.
