The Boston Bruins are in the midst of a California road trip. This does not mean that Coach Claude Julien isn’t afraid to roll the dice and make some changes. Today in practice Julien made changes hoping to spark the Bruins third line to increase their offensive presence.
Spooner centered Brett Connolly and Matt Beleskey, while Jimmy Hayes joined Landon Ferraro centered by Noel Acciari. Connolly has been skating on the fourth line since the trade deadline when the Bruins acquired Lee Stempniak, who joined the Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron line.
