The Boston Bruins were a true four line team last season. No forward averaged less than 12 minutes on ice in the regular season and the playoffs. That kind of depth up front helped push the Bruins all the way to the Stanley Cup Final.
Bruce Cassidy had a few different fourth line combinations last year, but he pretty much relied on the same four players: Sean Kuraly, Chris Wagner, Noel Acciari, and Joakim Nordstrom.
Kuraly, Wagner, and Nordstrom all return for Boston this year, so we’ve more of the same on the fourth line.
