Jim Montgomery is shuffling up the Bruins’ forward corps ahead of Wednesday’s road matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.
With Boston’s 5-on-5 offense severely lacking so far this season beyond the contributions of the fourth line, the Bruins’ middle-six grouping was augmented during Wednesday’s morning skate in Denver.
Top-six winger Morgan Geekie and fellow forward Justin Brazeau will slot out of the lineup for Wednesday’s matchup, with Max Jones and Riley Tufte expected to play alongside Matthew Poitras on the third line.
As a result, Trent Frederic will likely move up to the second line in place of Geekie — who has yet to record a point through four games this season.
