Fresh off a pair of embarrassing back-to-back losses to the Islanders and Rangers, Bruce Cassidy attempted to send a message with his notable lineup changes during Sunday’s matinee at Madison Square Garden.
John Moore, Chris Wagner and Anders Bjork all watched the game above rinkside. Steven Kampfer replaced John Moore on the back-end in his season debut. Gregg McKegg played his first game as a Bruin, centering the fourth line. Karson Kuhlman joined McKegg and Sean Kuraly on said trio.
Cassidy needed all 20 guys to buy back into their philosophy of being tough to play against.
